KADE
"You know, I'm pretty sure you think I came to live like this because I lost my marriage."
I said nothing.
"But that ain't the truth, Kade."
"Why do you live this way then?" I asked.
"Because I got tired of the numbers. Or the meetings. Or the stale tension in the air every time I sat at a meeting filled with greedy capitalists. I got tired of looking at their cunning faces, of trying to second guess their moves. Of trying to always be one step ahead of them. I got tired of playing chess. It was draining me." He paused and exhaled deeply. "I needed an outlet. Something to make me forget. Now, I literally ejaculate five times a day, minimum."
I clapped. "Congratulations, Caine. You've won the fight against prostate."
He laughed, and I saw his shoulders relax.
