of course i didn't tell him that my knees gave up inside the minute we finally saw each other again... he'd been hiding out, bartending every night of the week and not returning my one timid ring. by the time i left he had to kiss me twice and we both knew that we each had someone elsewhere who was waiting for us and counting on us, who was comfortable and liked us a lot with and we weren't gonna let those good people down. that comfort and sex, we could continue to procure elsewhere.
