But it was as if I was deaf to everything.
Rachel had moved in with the Pattersons, Clyde was defending her, and the disdain in Rachel's eyes...

I couldn't fathom why Rachel would do this. Clyde had to wake up to the truth eventually.
These thoughts hauntedas I went home.
The next day at work, I was completely out of it.
I couldn't understand why Rachel would do such a thing, as if Clyde and I had never wronged her.
During the morning briefing, I misspoke for the third tand had to cancel it.
Seeingdistracted, Jade pulledaside in the hallway.
"What's up? I heard Clyde caused a scene at Merritt's birthday bash yesterday?" I nodded.
Then, cautiously, I asked her, "Did Rachel have something againstbefore?" "Huh?" Jade was totally taken aback by my question, almost speechless.

umbrella? You've forgotten who you dated for four years in college? Your e own wife? "Jade, shut up!" Rachel suddenly raised her voice.
But Jade fired back immediately. "Only you can put on an act, huh? You've been after Clyde since college, and everyone knows it. When you found out Melanie was you into him, how many times did you try to sabotage her? You beggednever to tell, remember?" Jade's revelations shocked everyone, including me.
