Snitch
Here’s my dilemma.
I’ve learned Roger is having an affair with a woman from work.
What?!
I saw them kissing outside a hotel downtown. I confronted him later and he admitted it, reluctantly.
Should I tell Audrey?
I assume she’ll be upset, though maybe she already suspects his infidelity.
I care about them both, but, as you know, Roger’s been a jerk to me since getting married.
Plus, I’ve had a crush on Audrey since high school.
So, you’re asking if you should snitch on your brother so you can get with your sister-in-law?
I am ... she deserves better!
