And suddenly it was like the four of us together again. But I think what I told myself was, we all are doing this because it's a last hurrah and we know that things are about to change. We're moving to Chicago and they're moving to New York and therefore it's a last hurrah.
They're part of who I am. I don't know how to have a social life without them.
I will just deal with it. I've always dealt with the things that are uncomfortable. I can handle it. I can handle it. It'll be fine.
And then... We moved to Chicago and I wrote another book.
He made me feel desirable. He made me feel intelligent. And he made me feel like it was so obvious that I would be ambitious and it was so obvious that I was going to be successful.
He really was struggling with giving up who he'd been in Charlottesville, which was a big fish in a small pond. His band was the popular band at the time when he was living in Charlottesville. So he'd gone from kind of like golden god in Charlottesville to a dude struggling to find work and writing his first novel in Chicago, living with a novelist who's got a full-time job.
And then my agent was shopping that second book and it was getting rejected. And that's when Patrick proposed.
We wanted it to be small, intimate, Charlottesville-based. It was a beautiful wedding.
They were the origin story. That's how I met him. So they were one of three couples who were there that were not somehow related to us.
We did our own vows. We wrote them together and we put on like, it was like a scene that we did. He cried. I felt so happy. I felt so happy getting married to him.
That third book deal, I think, really, really hurt him. I think my shadow just got bigger for him, and he started feeling smaller.
They always made him feel like the person he had been in his 20s in Charlottesville.
It felt like they were our best couple friend again.
They were always there.
He'd gotten close a couple times, but it just didn't happen for him.
One was in France and one was at Yaddo. And there was a two-week down period between the residencies.
The idea was by the end of July, we would be back in Kentucky together. He would get therapy and we would figure things out.
he decided to go to New York City and stay with our very good friend Hugh. And the idea was he would go back and forth between Hugh's place and Trisha's and George's place so that he wasn't a burden. And then he goes to Yaddo and he keeps writing.
And I said something like, well, I'm not a suspicious person. And he said, maybe you should be more suspicious. And I said, that's a really interesting thing to say. And he said, you should ask me questions.
And I said, is this about Patrick? And he said, yes, Patrick. And I said, did something happen when Patrick was in New York last week without me? And he said, yes. At this point, my heart has just like dropped and I feel like I'm going to vomit. And I said, did Patrick have sex with someone? And he said, yes. Yes.
