~My Best Friend's Wife By Katrin

"She's my best friend's wife."

What?

His best friend... that would be... but that would mean...

She's married to Jack?

Her Jack, I mean.

But that can't be. That's not allowed.

But if I - she - whatever, didn't join the military, then there wouldn't be a problem.

Dammit. If I had known all this in advance, would I have joined the Air Force?

Yes. Yes, of course I would have. I love my work.

But she does almost the same thing, and she has him...

Had him.

Past tense, Sam. She lost him.

Is there a reality where we're happy together?

The End
