She smiles and the corners of her eyes crease as she takes another sip of wine.
oh, i already know this bitch is gonna pull some shit
“Why do you even care? Why now? You have some amends you need to make for your own self-enlightenment? Well, fuck if I’m going to help you achieve that. You can rot for all I care.”
he literally just said he never got your messages or spoke with you! raleigh, i know you're pissed but think, woman!
“I never ran. You did.”
uh no actually YOU left that night. without giving him your number.
He doesn’t have to face the pain of realizing he’s abandoned his family.
YOU DIDN'T ABANDON YOUR FAMILY!!!
there. “Do you want me to forgive you? Is that it? I’ve accepted what happened and moved on.”
FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT??? HE LITERALLY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! THE MESSAGES WERE NOT FROM HIM!
Why does he have to do sweet things like that?
um because he's genuinely upset he missed this time with the son he didn't know about!
I won’t let you hurt him the way you hurt me.
IT...WASN'T...HIM!!!
Those gifts were sweet, but they don’t make up for his absence.
.................................BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD A KID!!!
It’s not his fault, and yes, a lot of my anger is misdirected, but after writing him off for so long, it’s hard to switch gears and welcome him into our lives with open arms.
and i get that but you keep treating him as if he was the one who sent you those messages. he wasn't. either you believe him and try to move on, or you don't. you can't keep blaming him for shit he didn't do!
Barrett. If he’s interested in being a dad, then I should allow him to prove himself. I’d want him to give me a chance if the situation were reversed, right? Whatever, I would have checked my own fucking messages instead of getting someone else to do it for me.
dude, he's a public figure, a famous hockey player...gimme a fucking break
That’s what made the rejection from the past hurt so much, but he seems awfully determined to heal our old wounds.
OMFG HE DIDN'T REJECT YOU! IT WASN'T HIM!!!
But when that came out of your mouth… it put me in my place.
oh honey, you were already in your head about it BEFORE he called you a bunny...
Barrett: Look, normally, I wouldn’t do this, but I’m feeling sorry for you. Since you were such a big help today: yes, Raleigh, I will go out with you tonight even though it’s very last minute and I have an incredibly busy schedule.
oh my God, i love this man
“How could I have left you alone? I’ll never be able to make it up, will I?”
this is what i hate. now he blames himself when there was nothing he could do since HE DIDN'T FUCKING KNOW!
“On is fine—Um, we’ve kind of got a birthday party going on out back with his friends from daycare. Do you want to come by later?”
wooooooooooooooooooow it's his kid's birthday and you didn't even invite him??? and just when i was starting to like you......
“I’m texting our lawyer to tell him it’s not Julia we need to go after, it’s your mom. And I want an order of protection against her.”
what the actual fuck
