“Nate, you’re not just my best friend; you’re the best guy I know. Everything you’ve dealt with the past year and a half? You’ve just shown such amazing character and I’m so proud of you. And through everything, you’ve always kept an eye on everyone else; you look after us all. And today? That look … just taking that second to check in with me. It meant a lot. And when he threw me his look? It just brought it all home. He has been an absolute jerk to me for months. He has treated me far worse than you ever did and yet he had the nerve to throw me this look, right before he said I do. I don’t even know what that look was but it felt like an accusation, like it’s my fault that he was in that church getting married and I don’t even know why a word like ‘fault’ should come to mind, but it did and that’s how it felt to me, like that’s what he was saying to me; that he was blaming me. And I thought that when he said it, I do, I mean, that I’d feel like someone had put a knife in my heart ... or my guts. But there was nothing. Like ... absolutely nothing. I’m completely and utterly done … and I really don’t care anymore whether he is happy or not happy. I don’t care if he’s making a mistake … because it’s his mistake to make.”
