"Can you just pretend you didn't hear this news? It's none of my business! No, wait... it's none of Nicole's business! ...No, that's not right... you know, breaking up on good terms, if you and Nicole break up, and she marries someone else, just give her your blessings and let it go... just don't hold grudges."
Jose Floyd's thin lips curved into a cruel, unfeeling arc, as he reached out to snatch the phone from Joshua Floyd's hand and dialed Nicole's number.
The phone rang twice before someone answered, and Nicole's gentle voice came through, "Joshua, I'm about to head out, the engagement ceremony is about to start, is there something you need?"
Standing in front of Jose Floyd in an Italian bar, Joshua Floyd felt like crying when he heard this.
Sister, please don't say another word, your ex is standing right in front of me and he'll kill me!
