“send me over the moon” worthy. Apparently Brandon had answered that call for her.
    “Before I knew it one thing really just led to another and we ended up kissing. And then we went back to your— Err, uh, his place.”  
    “You did it in my bed? In our bed?” I was disgusted.
    “It was a total mistake and we were just so hammered,” Robin cried, finally giving in to the tears that she must have been holding back from the moment she discovered the reason for my visit. “It was just that one time and the next morning we decided we’d never tell you. Figured it was for the best. Neither of us wanted to hurt you.” I rolled my eyes. I had already heard this pathetic routine.
    “Sophie.” She stood up and walked towards me tentatively. “I told Brandon that I wanted to tell you. That…that…it was the right thing to do. That I couldn’t not tell you and continue to be your friend. And I told him he should come clean with you and maybe you two could work it out. But he swore he’d never tell and he begged me not to say a word. I never meant for any of this to happen.”
    “Lies, lies, lies. Deceit…. You sleep with my boyfriend. You keep it a secret. And expect that nothing will happen? Shove it all under the rug and forget about it?”
    “I know there’s nothing to say to make any of this right. What I did—what Brandon did—was wrong. And for that I will forever be sorry. I don’t know where to go from here.” She cried like a baby. “What can I say or do to make things alright? I don’t know, Sophie. I just don’t know.”
    “I don’t either, Robin.” My fists were squeezed into tight balls. I was so enraged and beyond words or rational thought I wanted to lay one into her. I had never punched anyone before. This moment seemed like a perfect first time.
    “I know I should have told you.” Robin’s shoulders heaved. “I should have come clean right away.”
    “What you should have done was never sleep with my boyfriend in the first place!”
    “I know. I know.” Her eyes fixed on the carpet. “What can I do to make it up to you? What can I do to fix this?”
    Was she serious? She wanted to repair the disaster she had caused? This was all beyond repair. There was no going back. No apologies. No forgiveness. As far as I was concerned, Robin could rot at the bottom of my enemy list right along with Brandon. They were both vindictive people who had taken my heart and my love and my trust and torn them apart.
    “You can’t do anything, Robin. What you’ve done is unforgivable.”
    “Please.” Tears gleamed in her eyes. “I don’t want our friendship to be destroyed. I understand if you need some time to think about this. Please don’t let this ruin us. Please. What we have should be stronger than this.”
    “Stronger than this? Stronger than deception? How can I trust you ever again, Robin? How can I trust that you won’t sleep with my next boyfriend? Or my husband, for that matter?”
    “Sophie, I’m sorry! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Please forgive me,” she begged. “I’m so sorry….”
    “Yeah, I am, too.” I headed towards the door. “I’m sorry you turned out to be a complete bitch. I’m sorry I was ever your friend and trusted you.” I angrily swung the front door open.
    Robin sobbed after me, “Sophie, please. Please…”
    “You and Brandon deserve each other.”
    “It was one time and never again,” she cried. “One stupid, stupid time.”
    “One time is enough.”  
    “What can I do to fix this? I don’t want to lose our friendship.”
    With one hand on the doorknob, I turned back.  
    “You can never talk to me again. Never see me. Never come to me. Never have anything to do with me again. I don’t want to know you anymore , Robin.” I closed the door, astonished at how relaxed I had been at the end. What had come over me?
    It didn’t last long; halfway home I was overcome by rage, shaking and screaming in the confines of the car. In a
