She turned away from him, staring at the window over the kitchen sink although it was dark outside and she couldn't really see anything much past her own reflection.

"We've been friends a long time, Jim. Of course you can still see me."

Hello deflection, meet wilful ignorance, I'm sure you'll get on just great.

This kind of thing was probably why they had been able to carry on as long as they did. Because they never talked about it.

"Sherry, come on. You and I both know rehab won't count for anything if I'm carrying on with two women."

"That's optimistic. What makes you think Carol's going to take you back?"

Not the most mature response ever, but she could blame it on spending her entire life around teenagers.

"I'm thinking the kids might have something to do with it."

"Is that all? 'The kids' will know if the two of you end up holding it together for them."

"The kids will know if I end up leaving their mother for the principle."

"Maybe the kids will benefit from having a mother around who doesn't let them spend their days truanting and their nights vandalizing local businesses." It came out before she could really stop it and she frowned, looking away.

Jim was surprised by that response, because it was almost like she wanted him to leave his wife.

"... I'll go to rehab. Start there."

She nodded uickly, obscenely grateful to him for redirecting the conversation to something safer.

"Good. That's -- good. And it'll be good for them to see you doing that. Making a commitment."

"I honestly think it'll just be John that will put up a real fight about me being back."

"Yeah, I can't disagree with that. He's been in and out of my office all year, when he even bothers showing up." She sighed. "He's at that age where everything has to be about him. He'll be fighting you for months because that's as long as it'll take him to get that you left because you were fucking up, not because he was."

"If he gets it at all." Jim sighed. "How close to prison is he really?"

"Most people have been giving him an easy ride about pressing charges because they think he's from such bad stock he can't help it," she said flatly. "But something needs to change before he gets to the point where a few months in juvenile hall might be something he needs to get his priorities straight."

"Right. I'll talk to him. Maybe after Christmas."

"Yeah, you do that." She paused around a sip of coffee. "It's...hard, to strike a balance between 'I get why you did this' and 'that doesn't make it okay'. It'll be hard to make him understand that. But I think you can."
