CHAPTER 3: MAJOR CONUNDRUM

Subject: Major conundrum
Fuck! Okay, so if I'm starting off this email with the mother of all curse words, you KNOW it's gotta be bad. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Triple bad. Like "the worst thing in the world" bad.
I was at the nail salon getting a long overdue pedicure. Ethan can attest, they were like bear claws down there. And no, my gnarly toenails are NOT the worst part of this email.
I was reading an US Weekly from three weeks ago - again not the worst part of this email, but perhaps a close second - and there's a picture of Cassidy kissing Marcus Wright on the set of his new movie. It's not a harmless peck on the cheek kiss either. It's a full-on, making out kiss. The caption says, "Marcus Wright sneaking a kiss with a mystery lady on the set of King's Final." Fuck!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, folks. This happened three weeks ago. Maybe Finlay already knows about it and they're working through it.

Do you really think Mark could look past infidelity? I know I couldn't. I would never be able to look at Greg the same way again. Would you be able to forgive Nick?

Subject: Re: Major conundrum
We're talking about Mark, not Nick. Nick would never stray. Believe me, he's one satisfied man. Anyway, first off, if he has seen this, they aren't married yet so he may be willing to forgive her this transgression. For all we know, it is only one kiss. Second, maybe there's an innocent explanation.

I'm certain Mark has NOT seen this. If he ever opened a trashy, tabloid celebrity magazine, I'd be shocked. And I'm confident Cassidy hasn't confessed all, because we just had dinner with them last week and everything seemed fine.
He would definitely tell me if he knew she had cheated on him. There's no way he could forgive her. He's such a straight arrow and is so particular about things. And believe me, there is no innocent explanation for this embrace and lip lock. Fuck! What the hell am I supposed to do now?

You need to tell him. He can't marry this woman if she's being unfaithful to him. He needs to know.

Ethan's right. Poor Mark. He's going to be devastated. I'm so glad you are the one that's going to tell him. I don't think I could do it.

Wait. Why am I going to be the one to tell him?

You are the one who found the photo. You are closest to him. It'll be best coming from you.

Even if Finlay got screwed over big time because she screwed someone else, I'm not sure we want to get involved.

Oh hell, you're all right. Disregard my last email. He needs to know. Okay, I'll tell him, although I can't guarantee I'll be as gentle as you will, Renee.

Don't let Shelley tell him. The guy's going to be heartbroken enough.

You think he's heartbroken over Shelley?

Renee! Give it a rest already. Shelley is with Nick. Mark loves Cassidy - at least right now he does. There is nothing going on between Mark and Shelley, nor will there ever be.

You're right. You're right. On both counts. Shelley and Mark together is just a crazy pipe dream of mine. And I can't let her break the news. I need to do it.

Babe, you need to tell him. I'll do it with you. See if he's free tomorrow and we'll go together.

Thank you! I don't think I can bear the thought of telling him alone. I'll email him now.
