“In the soap-opera that is my life….Jim will ultimately choose you. It won’t matter if you’ve been married six times, lost your memory, come back from the dead or gained an evil twin. We could have some good years…maybe even a lot of them, but at some point, he’s going to wish that he had chosen you. I just figure that it will hurt a hell of a lot less now then somewhere down the road. I told you, I’m doing this for me.  And you know Jim….he won’t want to think that he’s hurt me by choosing you over me. That will eat him up too and he’s already a shell. That’s why I’m going to leave on my terms….my way.” Karen starts to get up. She brushes off her backside and fishes for her car keys in her sweatshirt pocket. “I probably won’t be in to work tomorrow…I don’t know if I’ll be back.”

God, I'm such a dork that I get all the references. I watch too much Days as a guilty pleasure.
