[He takes a breath.]
It's cowardly, I know that much, but I just...I can't hurt either of you by just choosing one of you over the other. But I do recognize that if I don't, then I just hurt you both even more, and I'm at a loss for what to do about this. And I probably should have said something sooner, but now that all three of us are in one town again...well, I figured it was as good a time as any, right?

[Jake sighs again.]
It's like I can't apologize to you two enough.
