“Of course, but I have a condition.”
And the plot thickens.
The last time he made a request—demand—my life imploded. I fucking hate that he still has so much power over my choices.

Saar
Why are you not answering, @Cora? It’s been four days. How was the date?
Depends
Celeste
OMG, you can’t answer like that.
I just did (winking emoji).
Celeste
So there is a story to tell.
Saar
You liked Ed! Should I cancel tomorrow’s date?
I didn’t like Ed. Sorry.
Saar
Don’t be sorry. Wejust started.
Celeste
I still need details.

Lily
I hate being in a different time zone.
@Cora I’m sure the next one will be better (kiss emoji).
“You used to tell me Ethan wasn’t good enough for me. Why, Dad?”
I’m not sure why I’m raising the question.
Dad sometimes doesn’t remember me; he for sure wouldn’t remember my deceased fiancé. And it’s not like it matters anyway.
I’m still unsettled from my reaction to Xander’s bike a few days ago. Discussing Ethan with my dad will not help me, but he’s been on my mind. What are the odds that Xander would have an orange bike as well?
It’s like I asked Ethan if he was okay with me dating, so he sent a sign? Fuck, I should call Xander and explain. But as strange as it is, I still don’t have his number.
I can ask Saar, I suppose, but that would unleashthe investigator in her and… well, I don’t want to dissect what might be with Xander. Or what some part of me still hopes for.
