Mess around with a girl like Stephanie while the girlfriend was away, pretend she never existed afterward. And if you were stupid enough to forget that, you deserved to be someone's shame.

"I know you didn't really have a choice. I don't think I had one either. So...yeah. Let's forget it happened."
