Now here he is, back. We’re on vacation and I’m wearing my bikini with saggy faded bottoms. I know something is wrong. “Have you met someone?” I ask. He nods yes. “Is it Tori Spelling?” He nods. “We’re soulmates,” he says. “She loves me unconditionally.”
“What conditions?” I scream. “You’ve only known each other three weeks.”

“I’m not leaving the kids,” he says. “I’m leaving you.”~~~~~
I'm a Dean hater, it's on.
