Cheating or not?
Is it cheating when the person is drugged and does not remember that he almost had sex with another woman?
I was in doubt.
Our hero never behaved in this way and has always been faithful. But under the effect of the drug he behaved out of the ordinary.

Big spoiler here==> (view spoiler)[It was a lie. Two women drugged him and tried to have sex with him, but he was so stoned that he slept. Then one of them said that her baby was his. But he never fucked her. That's why he broke up with our heroine. (hide spoiler)]

It’s been over a year since Brody and I broke up and it hasn’t been a lot of fun. I mean, Jesus, we’d been together since we were sophomores in high school. He’d been my first everything. He’d been my only everything. And I thought I knew him but apparently not.

And that’s when he’d told me he “couldn’t do this anymore” and that we were over then he’d gotten dressed and left.

Just like that.

Hell, I’d even made a last-ditch attempt to embarrass the truth out of him by confronting him at the firehouse in front of his fellow firemen (I know, lame, but I’d been brokenhearted and desperate and clearly out of my mind), and when he’d looked at me coldly telling me for the twentieth time it was because he wanted five kids, I’d given up.

He misses me.

Because a fish died.

He misses me.

Because now I guess he’s realizing he’s truly alone.

Just like I’ve been for the past year.

And he hasn’t talked to me in such a long time.

But he finally comes to me because of an idiotic fish.

“This whole thing is weird,” I mumble.

“Yeah, it really is. You’d think I would’ve at least heard something about why he did it but I got nothin’,” she replies.

“That is strange,” I agree.

I sit up quickly. “Yeah, he loves me so much that he broke up with me because of a fucking lame reason! And then he doesn’t talk to me for a year! Yep! That’s true love for you, right there!”

I can’t help but snort. “That’s it, isn’t it? You broke up with me because you slept with another woman and got her pregnant. I’m right, aren’t I?”

“Brody left with Peyton and Hannah. As far as Sarah knew, they went to Peyton’s house. So if the baby’s his, that’s where they did the deed.”

“How fucking selfish can you be? You know I’ve spent the past year banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what I did wrong! Was I not good enough for you? Did you fall out of love with me? Did you fall for another woman?”
