CORA No, ask me.

[nate peterson]

nate Thought you might have wanted to clear the air but don't worry about it.

[cora wolfe]

CORA This tiptoeing will never help you. I also, was curious if it was going to be something mildly hopeful or reminiscent or whatever but I know it's your bullshit way of trying to level an allegation.

[nate peterson]

nate It really won't have any significance if I ask outright. You'll either deny, which will just depress me, or you'll admit it, and I'll have had to ask you so again, it'll depress me.

[cora wolfe]

CORA I feel like I've already depressed you enough.

[nate peterson]

nate Cool, that's what I thought.

[cora wolfe]

CORA I've always regretted it, and you never deserved that.

[nate peterson]

nate Regretted what? Say it.

[cora wolfe]

CORA It’s so shitty to just type this out.

[nate peterson]

nate Voicenote it if it makes you feel better.

[cora wolfe]

CORA ►    "What do you want to know?"

[nate peterson]

nate ► "[heavy sigh] Just tell me."

[cora wolfe]

CORA ►     "Hi. Umm...obviously this wasn’t at all what I expected it to be like should we have ever talked again. So just wasting one more voice note to say hi before this is over."

[nate peterson]

nate ► "It's nice to hear your voice. I feel sick, but it's nice."

[cora wolfe]

CORA ►     "Yours too, I'm saving these regardless. But...to just rip the bandaid off...I slept with someone. Once, after a really bad fight, right at the end. I don't remember much, I don't really remember him...but I ended it with you a few days later. I knew you would hate me, so I thought I'd rather it be for a reason that you could use to spite me if you wanted, rather than one that would haunt you because of how meaningless it really was. I threw up the second I woke up, knew it was the biggest mistake I'd ever made. And I'm still sorry to this day for it."
