Lorne never asked me to stop sleeping with Jack. I just knew he wanted me to, from things he said. (And didn't say. I studied literature. Subtext is like home to me.)

His exact question was, "Do you ever think that being together isn't worth the trouble of being so far apart?" I said no, and I said if this was about Jack nothing's happened. I assumed he thought I'd fallen back into old patterns with Jack--you know, sleeping with him so he feels better--but he said it wasn't about Jack. He said he thought maybe I'd be happier with someone else, and I said no, and we're both a bit upset with each other right now, I think.

I don't get this.
