Justice For Juniper
Suki’s Encouragement – Part II
“Nothing. She’s perfect. She’s utter perfection and I fucked
I know I did. I got stupidly caught up and I regret it. I’ll do whatever she wants. Marriage counselling. Individual counselling. If she never wants to have kids, I’ll stop asking. I swear.”
“You need help Kyst but not even with all the therapy in the world will Juni ever forgive you. I know her as well as you do. You needed to know before you dipped your dick inte the breathing blow–up doll, this would be something she’d never forgive.”
“She wasn’t supposed to find out!”
“That’s your problem, isn’t it Kyst. You don’t feel bad you did it. You feel bad you were caught.”
“No. I hated myself while doing it. I regret touching her. I regret it all.”
“It’s too bad regret isn’t something Juni will accept at this time. Maybe in a hundred years she can look at you without feeling the bitter sting of regret but ultimately, if you have any kind of soul left in you, you’ll do what you need to do and let her go.”
“I can’t. I’ll never let her go. She is my world, and I can’t live without her.”

“Have you called her?” Suki asked suddenly.
“I don’t stop calling her.”

“Not Juni. The woman you threw your marriage away for. Have you talked to her since this all came out?”
“No. Not even once. I blocked her. When I found out Juni had
the miscarriage while I was fucking around, I knew I’d never see this other woman again.”
Suki looked at Juni with a sad expression and Juniper gave an angry shake of her head.
“I have to go, Kyst. I’ll leave you with this and maybe it will help, maybe it won’t. Juniper doesn’t need you right now.. with the miscarriage and your cheating, she is thriving. She looks beautiful. She is healing. She’s breathing. She’s doing well. It won’t be long until there is someone who sees her for the incredible woman she is. A man who values her more than whether or not she can fuck every day will pick up the pieces you discarded. You might not be able to live without her, but she will live without you. I’ll take good care of her. I’ll help her find someone who will do what you couldn’t do, Kyst and that is to be loyal to her. You don’t need to worry about her being alone. She won’t be for long. What you need to worry about is how you’re going to survive knowing you threw away the most incredible person in the world for nothing.”
“No.” Kyst’s sob rang through the phone and Suki’s eyebrows

jacked up. “Please no. I don’t want to lose her forever. I can’t imagine her with someone else.”
Suki read a note Juni typed on her phone and grinned, “Maeve is telling her to get fucked and soon because what is good for the goose is good for the gander. She even told her which hook–up app to use.” Suki crunched her nose up at the second part
while Juniper tried not to laugh aloud. She mouthed at Juniper “really?”
Juni nodded excitedly.
“She can’t,” Kyst said. “I’m her only.”
“But she isn’t your only anymore Kyst and you didn’t care ho it when it was you. Why should you get to be her only any I’m with Maeve. I’ll definitely be encouraging her to broaden h experiences.”
“Don’t Suki. Please.”
“Bye Kyst.” She hung up and looked at Juniper. “Your mom is on dating apps.”
“Nope. Tinder. She’s on Tinder. Hook–ups only. She said she doesn’t need a man to make her meals or go to the movies with her. She has friends for that shit but dick she gets online. I’m telling you, do not get stuck next to her when she’s on a massage table or in a hair stylists chair because she overshares.”

“How did we not know this?”
“She thought since we preached about only being with one person in high school and made fun of the sluts we would judge her.”
“She does know we only judged them because my mother kept a revolving door of lovers my father still turns a blind eye to, right?” Suki snorted.
“Enough of my craziness. Why are you home a full three weeks early?”
“His ex.”
“What about her?”
“She lives right next door to him. They share a wall between their place. She has a boyfriend and whatever and she was really nice, but too nice. Like the first day I got there, I was sitting in the back garden and she popped her head over the fence and said how amazing it was I was there and how he’d been talking about me for months.”
“Okay.”
“Super friendly and nice and I thought cool, maybe it’s not so bad. Then every time we were out in the garden, she was there. If we were going for a walk, somehow she was just heading out the door too. One night at around ten, we were getting hot and

heavy, and she knocked on the door to ask if he had any vodka. She started crying over the boyfriend not coming home and next thing I know, I’m slipping my bra back on and going to bed alone while she cried on his shoulder in the living room.”
“Shit.”
“The worst was when we were finally having sex in his bed, and she knocked on the wall three times. She said the next morning it was a joke but like what the fuck? He wouldn’t tell her off or anything. He went to work in the morning, and I booked my flight. It took me so long to open up to the possibility of physical connection and she ruined it, and he let her.”
