Minutes after Frederick received Marcus’s call, the man was knocking on his door. When Frederick opened it, he was greeted by the sight of his friend and colleague’s battered face.

“Marcus, what happened to you? Who did you fight with?”

“Am I that bad?”

“Well, let’s just say your wife isn’t going to miss this.”

“Ah, Frederick… I don’t think I even have a wife anymore. Maybe I never did.”

“Marcus, don’t say stupid things. You have a wonderful woman, and remember, she’s pregnant. She might be irritable now, but that’s the pregnancy. Not all pregnancies are the same, and I imagine carrying twins isn’t easy.” “It’s not the pregnancy. It’s Peter. It’s always been him. He’s always been there. I was just a stand–in.” “Marcus… don’t be ridiculous. You’ve been married to Valerie for fifteen years. Marriage is something you build over time.”
