[ She thinks through the details she has before responding. Peter, maybe climbing the walls. Introducing the boyfriend to the not-not-boyfriend and his partners. Fairly volatile ingredients, all in all. ]

what happened?

[internship]

Embry and Ash broke up about 2 days into our snow-in.

And I guess I was looking to the three of them as—proof that open relationships can work?

i’m sorry you’re having to deal with the fallout.
these things happen, even when relationships aren’t flexible in that way.

are things with you and ash okay, at least?
