Every time Wayne thought about what Jacob had just said, he felt guilty and put his phone back.
He repeated this action several times.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Rosalynn.
He picked up immediately: "Hey babe!"
"Has Jacob left?" Rosalynn asked softly, "The maid told me he stormed off. Did you guys have a fight?"
"Nope." Wayne paused, "I told him to let Erica be, but he wasn't too thrilled about it."
Rosalynn was drinking water. Upon hearing this, she spat it out: "Wait, why are you guys talking about Erica?"
"He brought her up." Wayne scoffed, "He said Erica had a fight with his mom. He knew damn well his mom was in the wrong but still blamed Erica, so I told him to leave her alone."
"Oh, so that happened? Good on you, we should totally encourage them to break up!" Rosalynn responded.
Wayne hung his head: "He said, considering my past, I'm the last person who should be advising him."
"That's not fair, your situations are fundamentally different!"
"What's so different?" Wayne asked.
"Well, our problems are just between us, but Jacob and Erica's issues are far more complex. Jacob isn't steady and Erica is born out of wedlock, she needs a load of security that Jacob just can't provide."
"Alright." Wayne wasn't really interested in this.
He just shared his thoughts after Jacob brought it up.
Now, all he could think about was what a lousy guy he'd been in the past.
"By the way, when I dropped Ivy off at school, I went to see Alison." Rosalynn changed the subject, "Surprisingly, she chose neither her dad nor her mom, but her own life."
