Robert Cohn

“You know Robert is going to get material for a new book. Aren’t you, Robert? That’s why he’s leaving me. He’s decided I don’t film well. You see, he was so busy all the time that we were living together, writing on this book, that he doesn’t remember anything about us. So now he’s going out and get some new material. Well, I hope he gets something frightfully interesting.” (Hemingway, 57).

I have grown farther and farther away from Frances in the past few months, working on my book and all, but it seems as if she’s always right in front of my face. I just want to work in peace. She can’t seem to let go that I don’t see our “relationship” progressing anymore. Yes, I went into it looking for someone, she just turned out to be the wrong someone. Honestly, I just don’t have feelings for her anymore. She’s just too demanding for me. Someone like Brett would be the best girl for me. As for my “research,” I just need to get away from her. She’s distracting me from my work. Travelling away from her is the only reprieve I can get. Her constant whining and demand for attention drive me insane. Don’t you think so, Robert? Or Well, I have to ask Robert… She can’t make a decision on her own. I just don’t understand why she’s still with me. She just needs to move on like I did.
