"Cora, come on. They’re my babies, and I like them both. Stop asking questions like this, or you’ll make a fool of yourself."

I knew you first, and I was your real girlfriend, but in the blink of an eye, you married some other woman as your wife, while I became the other woman. I’d be lying if I said I’m not upset about it.
