Summary
"I'm just saying you need to be realistic, Mike," Jack says. "Sarah gives me a chance at a real life—a family."
Robby closes his eyes, willing the tears away. There's so much he wants to say—why do you still live with me, then? Why aren't you at her place? He bites the words back. "And I don't? Being with me isn't a real life?"
The worst part is that he knows exactly what Jack means; he gets it, he really does.
"What do you want us to do, huh? Live as roommates for the rest of our lives and have our families pester us about finding wives? We can't even get fucking married!"
"Times are changing." Maybe if he says it out loud, that will make progress speed up. "It won't be like this forever."
