Rachel.
    ------------------------------------------
    2:14am:
    Another Rachel? Who is she?
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    2:15am:
    I told you about Rachel. We were engaged and I called it off a week before the wedding.
    ------------------------------------------
    2:15am:
    Oh, right. It’s hard to keep all of these women of yours straight. I guess I’m more tired than I want to admit.
     
    2:15am:
    I’m going to bed now. Good night, Jake.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    2:16am:
    Good night. I’ll see you Friday night.
    ------------------------------------------
    7:35pm:
    Hey Jake?
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    7:43pm:
    You’re not working your rotation?
    ------------------------------------------
    7:44pm:
    Quick b reak.
     
    7:44pm:
    I have a question.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    7:45pm:
    Ask anything.
    ------------------------------------------
    7:46pm:
    Will you be honest?
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    7:46pm:
    Yes, of course. I have no secrets from you.
     
    7:52pm:
    Still there?
    ------------------------------------------
    7:53pm:
    Sorry, I have a patient I need to see. So I’ll ask now and wait for your HONEST answer.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    7:53pm:
    OK
    ------------------------------------------
    7:54pm:
    If I were to look through your phone, what kind of conversations would I find between you and these other women? I want names and the status of your relationships with each of them.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    7:55pm:
    Are you OK?
    ------------------------------------------
    7:56pm:
    If you ever want to see me again, Jake, you’ll answer the fucking question.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    7:57pm:
    Okay, relax. Can we talk about where this is coming from again? You asked this question already, why are you asking it again? Is it something you saw on my phone? Give me an indication…
     
    8:12pm:
    OK, so you’re not going to talk to me until I answer the question?
    ------------------------------------------
    8:12pm:
    No, it has nothing to do with talking or texting. You will NEVER hear from me again, Jake. I swear, if you don’t answer me honestly, I’m out of your life forever. And I will know if you’re telling the truth, asshole.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    8:13pm:
    Let’s talk about this. In person. I don’t know where this is all coming from and I want you to be 100% certain that I’m being truthful with you. Can we meet?
     
    8:20pm:
    OK, f ine, you’re not going to answer your phone when I call. I get it, ignore me. You’re pissed. Since you’re ignoring me, I will ignore you.
     
    8:32pm:
    OK, I can’t ignore you. I can’t play these games. I’ll give you the information you want. All of it. With complete honesty, no secrets. Full disclosure. Will you talk to me once I do that?
    ------------------------------------------
    8:33pm:
    Maybe. Start typing, asshole.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    8:42pm:
    Okay, so there’s Rachel , my ex-fiancée.
     
    8:48pm:
    And Michelle is a girl that used to work with Christine and just recently joined my company.
     
    8:50pm:
    And of course there’s Christine, who never answers my texts.
    ------------------------------------------
    9:11pm:
    Tell me about Rachel.
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    9:12pm:
    I already have. We were engaged. I called it off. We’re still friends.
    ------------------------------------------
    9:12pm:
    But you’re more than friends, aren’t you? I thought this was full disclosure, Jake. Did you think I was fucking joking when I said I’d be out of your life forever?
    ------------------------------------------
    Jake
    9:14pm:
    No, I know you weren’t joking. I will sometimes text Rachel. We get along. It’s all good, it’s all safe and that. She’s married after all. I get
