"You are a star. It's normal to know you long ago." Emily found a tissue to pass to her.
Stephanie shook her head, her face full of pain, "He has known me for a long time. He is a friend of my ex-boyfriend."
Emily was startled.
"How did you know that?" Emily tried to use the euphemism, "Did he confess to you? Maybe he is worried that you won't interact with him if you know he is a friend of your ex-boyfriend."
"I found it myself." Stephanie shook her head.
Emily pursed her lips.
Stephanie opened her eyes. Her eyes were full of tears. "One of John's friends sent a message to ask him to go to the reunion. I saw it."
"What did the message say?" Emily asked with hesitation.
"It says let John meet my ex-boyfriend and share his experience with my ex-boyfriend." Stephanie sniffed and wiped away her tears. Then she picked up the bottle and put the last bit of red wine into her mouth. She wiped her lips with her hand and added, "His sexual experiences with me."
Emily was speechless.
