Damn. You were so sure it was her. Did you apologize?

No. I need to take a look at the polygraph in more detail.

Rafe

Dude, if she were writing the damn column, I’m guessing she’d be proud of it, not take a polygraph to prove it wasn’t her. Just fucking say it. You were wrong.

You were wrong.

Rafe

I was wrong. It happens every now and then.

Easton

Apparently, all she wants is an apology, and we can all move on.

I scratched the back of my neck.

Axel

Seems like a fair request. You have tortured her for months about this.

“Tortured” is a bit dramatic.

Archer

You did call her out at her place of business.

Rafe

And because of that, her building got egged.

I’m sorry, Dr. Phil. I wasn’t looking for a therapy session. What the fuck is this?

Easton

Apologize, dickhead. You owe her that much.

Archer

We know that apologizing isn’t really Bridger’s thing.

Rafe

Remember when he used the waistband of my briefs and hung me on the branch of the willow tree in our backyard? I still never got an apology.

Easton

That was the most epic wedgie I’ve ever seen.

Rafe

I will not joke about that. I had rug burns on my ass crack for weeks.

Archer

Too bad you didn’t have your fancy toilet back then to massage your chaffed ass crack.
