“I can imagine it must have been a rather traumatic experience.”

“It was. I was torn between the woman I fell in love with and my loyalty to my best friend. We finally sat down to have a good talk and she made peace with the situation. Our friendship was strained for a long time and it was only when my wife and I adopted Sophie and planned to get married that she slowly became more involved with my life again.”

“That’s great to know, that everything worked out for the best.”

“It was a long journey, but now that I look back on it all, maybe everything happened for a reason. For a long time, I blamed myself for what happened, but my best friend assured me that she knew I had no such intentions when everything first started.”

“Your best friend sounds like a very commendable woman.”

“She is, she is a wonderful person with a good heart. I wish she will be able to find her happiness one day, I think she nearly did recently. Ah, but that’s another story.”

“I’m sorry, but…” Jin said, flipping through her notes, “I didn’t catch your wife’s name.”

“Oh, I’m sorry about that! I’m so use to censoring my wife’s name because of her profession.”

“What does she do?”

“She’s a State Attorney and in the beginning, we had to keep our relationship under wraps. But now, we have a very open relationship.”

“That’s great to hear, I hope it won’t be too inconvenient to get her name from you.”

“Not at all, my wife’s name is Tina Kennard.”

Jin suddenly looked up from her notepad, frowning, “Tina Kennard, you said?”

“Yes, Tina Kennard. K-E-N-N-A-R-D.”

Jin laughed, “No no, I know how to spell her name, it’s just that…would it be intrusive to get your best friend’s name as well?”

Ollie smiled, “My best friend’s name’s Bette Porter.”

“Bette Porter?”

“Yes, do you know her?”

“You could say that,” Jin replied.

She’s happily married? Jin thought to herself, and Gen is moping around trying to play it safe because she thinks that Bette is messing around with her ex-girlfriend?

She had to call Gen immediately.
