LO AND BEHOLD, I REALIZED HE WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT FOR ONCE. IT WOULDN'T EVER BE ENOUGH, NO MATTER HOW THICK AND HEAVY I LAID ON THE GUILT, NO MATTER HOW MANY POST-BREAKUP FUCKS WE INDULGED IN, THINGS JUST AREN'T EVER GOING TO BE THE SAME AS BEFORE.

SO MAYBE IT'S TIME TO ACT, YOU KNOW, ACCORDINGLY.

THANKS, NATHAN.

HUH

?

You've CONVINCED ME.. I NEED ·TO... START LOOKING FORWARD RATHER THAN

BACKWARDS.

NATURALLY, MY BIG MOMENT OF REVELATORY WISDOM AND SUBSEQUENT GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT WILL BE EASIER TO MAINTAIN WHEN HE ISN'T STANDING BEFORE ME WEARING NOTHING BUT THOSE TIGHT WHITE BRIEFS.... BREAKING UP

IS HARD TO

Do.

WHATTYA MEAN BY THAT? DOES THAT MEAN You DON'T WANNA STAY IN TOUCH? DO YOU LIKE HATE ME?

I DIDN'T MEAN TO YELL ・AT YOU....

CAN I GIVE YOU MY EMAIL ADDRESS ??
