"Are you sure Juliette won't be mad if I visit them?"
"Why would she be mad at you for caring for your child? If anything she'll be mad at me for breaking our code of silence, but I'm sure she'll appreciate your interest in Rowan. Plus, you both will be able to talk and clear things up... If you're not mad at her yourself, that is".
"Why would I be mad at her? Juliette did what she thought was right. To be fair, I wasn't totally honest with her. I was selfish and thoughtless. Sadly, I realized that too late. All that's happening to me I brought it on myself and I well deserve it".
"Come on, bud. Don't be so hard on yourself".
"It's not being hard, Dust, it's just the truth".
"Anyway, I must go. Thank you for telling me the truth, although I don't know what to make of it. Perhaps it's best if I stay away from Rowan. I just hope he and Jul can forgive me someday".
"Come on, Rob, don't give up so easy, at least give it a try! Look, Rowan's birthday is coming. Julie's going to throw him a little party with only the family. If you could drop by you'd have the perfect opportunity to make things right.
"Make things right? How? I'm still married, I can't offer them anything!"
"And I don't know either what I would say to Juliette".
"You can tell her that you support her, that you'll be there for her and Row whenever they need you".
"Well, that much would be true".
"See? That's a start. You don't need to promise her anything, just let her know you care".
"I don't know if that'll be enough."
"It is. For now".
"I'll send you a text message later with the exact date and Julie's address, okay?".
"You mean the secret address you refused to give me before?"
"Yeah, yeah, that same one. Now tell me, will you attend?"
"I'll be right there, I promise".
