Boyfriend Drunk-Called His Ex Crying; I Let Him Go

After the class reunion, Earl Fox came home drunk, hugging the toilet, throwing up and crying as he made a phone call. "Pick up, Clementine! Pick up the damn phone!" Clementine was the name of the ex-girlfriend he'd broken up with eight years ago. Only when his phone finally died did Earl fall into a heavy sleep, still clutching the toilet. Early the next morning, when I confronted him about it, Earl's face turned dark and cold.
