Misread and Miss Understanding

Bob was there, Jane was happy.
Jane knew there was another, it was not a secret.
"She's upset that I'm here," he said.
"Sure," Jane thought, "I'm often upset when you're with her, but those were the terms we agreed to".
Jane shrugged, they moved on.

Weeks later, Jane found out that only two of them knew it was a triangle. That was more upsetting than previous levels had reached. There was a lot of talking. Jane said, "For these past few months, I've been operating under the assumtion that I was also your girlfriend". 

Bob replied, "Yes." 

Oh.

Jane thought about it for a while, realized why she'd been mistaken, and decided to ride it out. After all, she was the one who knew all the facts, she was the one actually being trusted.

Then it occured to Jane - if the other girlfriend was upset that Bob was visiting her, and she didn't know Jane was also dating him, then holy cow, she was just being a bitch.
