like a clogged sink.
As much as I’ve daydreamed
about dating Lyric
I never imagined it like this.
I could use some extra funds
for my gap year—especially since I’m
thinking of joining this caravan community
over the summer so I’m not fully alone on the road.
Dues are like 3K.
I’ve got a pretty good amount of savings
from my tutoring work in Chicago
but I could have more ofa buffer
because I’m still unsure if Moms will be on board
to help out.
Plus—I need to get some gear
for Chloe
to make her more livable.
Lyric stops, and takes another bite of pizza.
Sorry, she says, once she’s swallowed.
I talk fast when I’m excited.
What questions do you have?
Just about a million.
I start with the most pressing.
I don’t know how to ask this
but are you OK with mebeing
a girl?
Don’t you have a boyfriend?
So… you’re at least interested?
A smile spreads over Lyric’s face.
I’m notnotinterested,
