_____Donna sees the look on your face and quickly intervenes. "Have you met Jason?"
_____There is a spark of recognition in Jason's eyes. "I can come back later," he says as he reaches for his jacket.
_____Donna pushes him back to the sofa. "You stay put." She turns to you. "Can I see you for a moment?" You follow her into the kitchen. "Listen, this wasn't planned. Jason called right after you did. The poor kid just caught his boyfriend giving a blowjob to his best friend and he wanted somebody to talk to."
_____"And who better to talk to, right?" Whoops, you hope that didn't sound too sarcastic. You still feel guilty about your romp with Sylvia, but it's not an argument you feel like reliving tonight.
_____Thankfully, she ignores the jab. "You can stay if you want to, but I'm not sure when we'll be finished."
_____You are about to give your answer when you look at Donna, really look at her, for the first time. Her eyes shift from the counter top, to the magnets on the fridge, to the dishes in the sink--everywhere but to you. Maybe the pain was deeper than you thought. "No," you say as you take the necklace from your pocket. "I'll catch up with you later."
_____When Donna sees the necklace, her lips break into a wide smile--the same smile that caught your attention in the beginning. But she still can't look at you. You sense that its time to move on.

Go home.
