Why this must be read: In this great take on the classic five-things meme, nestraconsiders the potential outcomes of Bobby's marrying Susan, Sarah, Jenny, Amy, or Joanne. Given the considerations of "Someone is Waiting," the author teases out short but detailed looks into lives unlived--not all of which are sad, but each of which has its own little tragedy hidden in there somewhere. As Amy reminded Bobby, "You need to marry somebody. Not some body." 

When he gets tired of Susan, or Peter gets too demanding, he can back off for a few days and let them deal with each other. When he comes back, it's great, sunshine and roses and lots of sex.

"I'm glad you're with us, Bobby." Susan stretches languidly, and her feet nudge his legs. On his other side, Peter drowsily gropes for the sheet and pulls it up over them, then rolls up against Bobby's side.

"I leave tomorrow on that business trip, remember? You'll have to do without me for a little while."

Susan stretches past him to caress Peter. "Oh, we'll manage somehow."
