The comments on the first video load and I stand up from my couch.

OMG! Bennet Sullivan can’t dance.

Guess you can't have the looks AND the rhythm.

Aww. He looked like a newborn giraffe just learning to walk.

"What the fuck?"

Blaire: It's endearing.

Bennet: Endearing. I was robbed. Those kids rigged that competition.

Blaire: You lost to a sixteen year old doing the griddy and you know it.

Bennet: The griddy is not a real dance.

Blaire: The internet disagrees.

Bennet: The internet is wrong.

Blaire: The internet has forty seven thousand likes on the video of you trying to keep up with him and failing.

Bennet: I want a rematch.

Blaire: I will pay money to watch that.

Bennet: Consider it part of your compensation package.

The dots appeared almost immediately.

Blaire:??Goodnight, Bennet. I hope you had a reason to smile today. I know I did.

Bennet: Goodnight, Blaire.

I set the phone down and looked at the ceiling for a long moment.

Hope you had a reason to smile today.

I did, actually.

Friday

Good morning Houston. I'm Lyle and this is my co-host Marissa. We're here today once again with NFL Hall of Famer Colton Monroe.

Thanks for having me. It's great to be back on your show.

They are literally interrupting local news to air this bullshit again. I watch from the kitchen while I make my coffee, mug halfway to my mouth, staring at the television.

I wonder if Blaire is watching this. I hope she isn't. I hope she's still asleep with her phone face down and none of this reaching her before she's had her coffee. I hope she doesn't give this man another second of her attention or her energy or her guilt, because I know she carries it, I've seen the way she goes quiet when his name comes up, and he doesn't deserve one more second of anything she has left.

I turn the volume up anyway because I need to know what he's saying about her.

Colton, we appreciate you sitting down with us again. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling watching your wife in the tabloids right now. One video in particular that’s been making rounds online.

They cut to a video of me and Blaire in the nightclub. The video is shot from below. Blaire is on my lap, gyrating. My hands are gripping near her ass. My cock twitches at the sight. Fuck, she looked amazing on top of me.

They cut back to Colt as he’s wiping fake ass tears from his eyes.
