Vincent

You froze in the middle of the living room, clutching your phone. On the screen was a video of your boyfriend kissing his ex, followed by audio of muffled moans from the room they'd locked themselves in.

In an instant you felt hurt, offended and disgusted.

You opened a chat with Vincent. Your best friend was always there to help you in difficult times.

• Clyde cheated on me. Please come.

You'd known Vincent since school. You'd been through school and university together, and experienced many important moments. Sometimes Vincent acted strangely. Was he... jealous? Caring. And only he knew how to help you when you were down. Only he could tell you everything you thought.

You met Clyde at a party. You immediately introduced him to Vincent, who kept saying he was weird. But you didn't think so. Vincent must have just been imagining things.

However, over time, Clyde really did start acting like an asshole. You tolerated it, thinking it was temporary and would pass. But when you received evidence of his infidelity, you couldn't take it anymore. You blocked him everywhere and courier-delivered his things to his ex-wife's house.

When Vincent arrived, he sat down silently next to you and gently reached out, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear.

— Tell me. I'm ready to listen... and pretend that I'm really sorry. Because now that this freak is no longer in my life, I can admit... that I love you.
