I didn't confront him. I just stopped being convenient. I brought his favorite Thai food to his apartment on a Friday night. I never made it through the door. I stood outside on the walkway and listened through the patio door while a woman named Kallie told my boyfriend of nine years that she was three months pregnant with his baby. Kirk Reed didn't know I was there. He didn't know I heard him say he was going to "handle things" with me. He didn't know I drove home and sat in my driveway and deleted every one of his calls without answering. He thought I was the same woman who turned down ...
