Summary: Mark receives Derek's and Addison's wedding invitation.
--
He traces the edges, the pads of his fingers hovering over the perimeter lines and the gold lettering of the card.
You are cordially invited…
(It’s a formality more than anything.)
There’s a twinge of something ugly when he thinks about it, and he’s almost inclined to push it down; but it’s just him and a glass of scotch in the shadows, and every truth he’s made about himself has been in the face of darkness, and why deviate from what works?
A bastard, that’s what he is, lusting after his best friend’s fiancée. Hoping she’ll choose him.
It’s unforgivable.
