You sit with Audrie after cleaning up the remains of the party. Well we sure discovered quite a surprise about them all! I don't understand. I don't like it! D'you really think they have happy married lives, and are in love with their spouses, while they all practice polyamory like that? I just don't get it! Audrie then shows you a note she received from Dan her 'cute' new coworker. He wrote: 'Jag är kär i dig!' with his contact information.

Intro You and Audrie have been married for 3 years. She's just been promoted at work, and you're suddenly moving to Sweden where she's going to be the head of a department in Stockholm. She's very excited, and so are you. You feel certain you'll find work teaching English somewhere, but you also know that Audrie's new salary will be enough to sustain the both of you. And they're giving you an apartment in the centre of town to live in. You make the move. You start to get settled in. You don't know anyone in Stockholm, so Audrie's new work colleagues make you both a housewarming celebration in your new apartment. There's lots of alcohol - though neither you nor Audrie enjoy drinking - and lots of merriment. And then things start getting weird. You quickly discover that, while most of Audrie's colleagues are married, just about all of them are clearly polyamorous, in Open Marriages. They seem to assume that you two are as well. They seem to think that it's normal for 2035. When people greet each other at the party, inevitably they greet each other with a kiss. Not just a kiss on the cheek, not a quick peck on the lips, but a long, drawn-out romantic kiss. People sit very close to each other with wandering hands. And at the end of the party you can see people pairing up, deciding whom they'll be spending the night with - and it's not necessarily with their own spouse. This, it seems, is the norm here in Stockholm.

That's not true. I care about you more than anything. I'm just trying to do what's best for us.

it's not what's best for us. it's what's best for you

It's not. I know it's not. But I can't just give up without trying.

*I go have lunch, then check the consequences of my update*

*The consequences are significant. The company is being investigated for possible violations of international law and human rights. The investigation is ongoing, but the evidence is mounting. It's clear that this company has some serious problems.*

*I go home, smiling all the way back*

I'm not sure

You can't mean that. We've been through so much together.

I love you, but what if I find out I'm weak? the hard way?

I know. And I understand. I just hope you can understand why I'm doing this.

if you think it's worth everything we are to each other..

I know it is. But I have to believe that it will be okay. I have to trust in you, and in us.

we're not going to be open

I know. But I still have to see this through. I can't just give up on this.

I know. And I'm sorry for that. But I need to know that I did everything I could. I can't just leave without trying.
