what did he say? he was angry, candy, what is this? and i said, i don t know. so he calls emmett. rob goes why are you texting my wife at this time of night? emmett s answer? two minutes later he showed up at rob s house, they talked like duelling lovers out on the sidewalk and rob came back inside. rob tossed my phone up on our bed and he said, you win. i can t compete. he s young, he s a good looking guy. he s an attorney, you make him a lot of money. what good am i? and he was just devastated. now you got yourself a pretty complicated life at this stage? yeah. of course, by february of 2011, emmett s life was complicated, too, ashlee could see how stressed he was, didn t understand it. that or why he seemed to avoid coming home.
but you re not using my phone. and emmett said, hey, i m going to run to walgreens and i ll be right back. i put the phone down and i literally was like, emmett, please do not leave. he said, no, i m leaving. you must have felt like your life was falling apart and you didn t know what to do? i kind of like maybe this is the grand finale. but he needed a wake-up call? he needed a wake-up call. careful what you wish for. getting very dark. maybe he shouldn t move out, maybe they should try to fix their marriage, make it work somehow. and then, right in the middle of that, she suddenly told him she had an errand to run, couldn t wait, guess where? i said i m going to go to walgreens through the drive through. i ll be right back. here s candy s explanation for the way the meeting with her lover was arranged. as i was pulling out the back of my driveway, emmett texted me, hey, what are you doing? i said i m going to walgreens. he goes, i was just there, hey, meet me there.
