Thursday - Email from the Abyss

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about an email in my inbox that I can't make up my mind whether to answer or not. It is from Patty's boyfriend, Bryan.

I wouldn't mind keeping in touch with Bryan. I don't miss Patty, but I do miss him. When Patty called me her sister, everyone knew that she just meant I was a good friend. When Bryan said it, they believed him because we look very much alike, at least as much as I can look like a 250 pound tattooed biker wannabe. I would email him if I trusted Patty not to read his messages, but Bryan and Patty both have trust issues and they read each other's email, letters and diaries looking for proof that the other one is up to no good. Because so much of their relationship is based on a mutual love of conflict, they are rarely disappointed.
