I think that is what you have been saying every time we’ve talked since Christmas. Every time I tell you anything that is important to me, any time I tell you I tell you anything that is my life, you just treat it like it’s Not New York. But you know what, that’s my life. Up until ten months ago, that was our life. And now it’s just some boring f#&king embarrassment to you. You wanted to give your dream of a career in New York one last shot. And I said fine. I said more than “fine”, I said please - take a year, have your adventure. Go be Odysseus and I’ll be your Penelope and I’ll wait here for you, wait eagerly for you to come home. And if things go well for you on your travels, f#&k, I’ll get on that boat and sail off with you there. I gave you what you wanted. But Odysseus had Scylla and Charybdis. And you have Aaron and a show at the Met.
