When I got back to the media room, Sean was scrolling through his phone and Richard was on a call. Beyond blasting me about Whitney, these were the worst two people to go anywhere with. They stayed on their phones. With Richard, it was work or our parents, and with Sean, it was anybody’s guess.

“Welcome back. You feel better?” Sean taunted, looking up from his phone.

I ignored him.

“Don’t be mad at me,” Sean said. “I’m trying to help.”

“Richard, tell your brother you can’t always fix it by taking a girl to Friday’s.”

Richard muted his call. “I can’t help you. I’ve never been married, and Sean’s simple ass is right.” He went right back to his call while I sat in my chair wishing I’d been an only child.

I glanced over at Sean’s phone and saw him double tapping some of Jetti’s pics on Instagram. I remembered Whitney looking at them, too. Jetti’s page was about makeup and clothes. What was he doing looking at them?

“You got a crush on Jetti or something? Why you on her makeup and clothing page?”

“Nah man, I’m just trying to boost her. The algorithm gives you more clout if people like and share.”

“The algorithm, huh?”

Richard muted his call again, “He likes that girl. He’s always asking Whitney about her, but ain’t talked to her yet. He scared.” Richard unmuted his call and answered a question about quarterly reports, like he hadn’t just blown Sean’s spot.

“Rich, who the hell are you talking to that you can keep muting and how you know everybody’s business?”

He muted the phone and shrugged. “On a conference call. It’s almost over.”

Clayton dipped his head in, “How them boys doing?”

“62-71, them,” I answered.

“Then, we got some work to do. Yell if we start coming back.” He went back to the rest of the party and Sean moved next to me bringing a migraine with him.

“What can I do for you, man?” I asked. I was so done with him today.

“I’m just trying to get you to see that you dead wrong with this one.”

I looked over at Richard. Up to this point, he’d been no help, so I put my attention back on Sean. I decided to let him get this out of his system for what I hoped would be the only time. “Ok. I’m listening.”

He leaned in like he was about to drop some knowledge. “So, you and Whitney been together for like ten years, right?”

“Married for ten, together for twelve, but go ‘head,” I corrected.

“Okay, so let’s focus on the married time because the two years y’all were together in college you didn’t deploy. Since you’ve been married, you’ve been gone almost half your marriage. Whenever you’re together, it’s about MJ, fucking—”

I put my hand up to stop him, “Watch that shit, man. I don’t fuck my wife.”

“Fine. It’s about MJ, ‘making love’…”

Again, with the air quotes

“…and you resting up and spending time with the rest of the family before you went back out. Y’all haven’t had
