Okay, I finally found the spare key, but I can't get this other one off the ring.
It might be a house key, so I'm just gonna have to trust you not to come back,
peel off my skin, and wear it as a coat.
I will not. I can't speak for my daughter though.
This is her big birthday gift, and she hungers for blood, so...
An old yellow Mini Cooper. You and your wife must hate her.
I'm gonna say something now that's gonna make you feel bad and act weird,
so I'm gonna ask you to try really hard not to.
My wife is dead.
Of course she is.
Cool. I mean, not cool.
My ex-husband is dead.
Really?
To me. That was bad.
I do that joke a lot, but I say it in a funnier way. I go, um, he's dead. To me.
Nope, that's the same thing.
It's the same thing, yeah.
Well, I'm sorry it ended so badly, but at least you got that awesome joke out of it.
Still on the road with that thing.
It usually works pretty well.
Does it?
Yeah, not now, but it does.
Cool. What happened?
You know that thing where you're like,
I'm so lucky that my best friend and my husband get along?
Yeah, now I drop my kid off at her house every other weekend.
I helped hang that wallpaper. There's not a single bubble in it.
That's rough.
What is the most embarrassing thing you realized you didn't know how to do without your wife?
Sorry, I'm not used to people engaging.
Usually everybody just runs from this topic.
Well, not me. I double down.
I see that.
I didn't know how to pay my mortgage.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's a big one.
Yeah, I thought that if I waited long enough to be cool and come find me, which they did,
they were not cool.
What was your wife's name?
Tia.
That's a really nice name.
It's a really nice name.
Okay, this is going to sound crazy,
but do you ever think that your wife dying might be better than what happened to me?
No.
No?
No. Okay.
I can say this. I can say this.
I feel like you and I can both be sad without this being a competition.
Hear me out, okay?
All right.
All right?
Any good memory that I have of my husband is tainted.
Okay?
They're gone, but I bet you have like a million amazing memories of your wife,
and you get to keep them forever.
Yeah.
I do.
Yeah, I win.
I...
You won.
Yes. Yeah.
I have so much anger, okay?
I feel like I'm stuck.
You know, it's probably going to be easier for you to move on eventually.
You don't seem like you have that much anger.
No?
No.
Seem like you have the right amount of anger.
Sometimes for me, moving on feels impossible.
Well, don't say impossible.
I'm going to go now because I have a therapy session.
Oh.
Well, thank God.
Yeah, keep doing the good work, right?
I'm the therapist, but thank God?
Yeah, I meant thank God they have you to do that work.
Hey, it was really nice meeting you.
You too.
