“I came to see how you are.”
“I’m fine.Now spit it out.”
“It’s just a doubt.”
“Tell me about this doubt.”
“Tonight there is this dinner…”
“And…?”
“And I’m not sure if I should ask him.I mean…”
“To go with you?”
“Yeah, something like that.”
“What stage are you at?”
“What do you mean?”
“You go out, see each other, hang out, have sex…”
“Uh… all of them.”
“Good for you!”
“Casey…”
“In my opinion, you should ask him.”
“Isn’t that too much?”
“Why should it be?”
I snort.“The other night, he stayed over at my place.”
“Uh…”
“And the next morning, he didn’t want me to drive him to his sister’s house.He took a taxi instead.”
“Ouch.”
“Ouch?Do you think I should be worried?”
“I don’t know.You two were together, and then he took a taxi.Maybe he just didn’t want to bother you.”
“Or maybe he didn’t want them to know he spent the night at my place.”
“Trust me, everyone knows by now.”
“Oh, great.Just what I needed.”
“The new couple is the latest gossip for O’Connor and outsiders.”
“I’m not even sure we are a couple.”
“Ouch.”
