It's what it is.

[Does Taylor know what her own feelings about it are? She does not.]

Keep a secret with me?

Of course.

[Hello, absolute best thing she could have said right now.]

I might move out? I might not, but-

Now they're married, the cabin feels smaller.

Do you feel like total shit about it?

No, nothing like that. I'm so happy for them both.

But I'm also a little allergic to being a third wheel.

That would make me feel like total shit.

I don't feel like shit.

I just don't know what kind of space I take up now, or what I need.

I think... the typical advice would be that you should ask him?

He is going to say there's always room for me, but I should do what I think best.

But yeah, I'm going to talk to him soon.

Would he say that even if he's totally bullshitting you, or would he only say it if he meant it?

You should get to know him better. Dad's incapable of bullshit.

I know him really well, actually, but even people who are painstakingly earnest can still lie to make someone feel better.

Not him, except by omission.

Would he think of you as a third wheel?

No.

But Danny Hebert didn't either.

... Honestly, I think I know how you feel. I'm trying to convince you you're wrong because I want people to try to convince me of the same.
