What you're telling me here hardly even registers, and I haven't known you nearly so long or so well as he has." I don't look at him, instead giving the tea far more attention than it needs. "If you knew the awful thing that Maddie did for me because I asked her to... There are worse things than the memory of a tumble in bed to ask a friend to live with the rest of their lives."
