I don’t know what to say…

I stalktoward the living room and drop onto the sofa. Anything I say right now would come off as angry. Because I am. I don’t want to be, not with Quinn, but fuck. I don’t know what it’s going to take to meet this woman in person.

We’ve been talking for months. That’s a full-blown relationship at this point. We’ve never even exchanged phone numbers.

It feels like I did something

CatsRCool

It’s not you

So it really is me then?

No!

I told you I got my heart broken before

And…

I get that, I do

But you’re not even giving this a chance

What if we meet in person and we have absolutely zero chemistry?

Well, we’ll never know unless we meet

But I don’t want to lose what we have now

Like I said, you have to take a chance on us

And if you’re not going to take a chance…

What are you saying?

What am I saying?Do I want to keep this thing going over the phone for another year? Two years? What if Quinn is never ready to meet and I’m just stuck waiting for her? I don’t want that.

Zucchini comes and curls into my side. Clearly she knows what I need right now. It helps make up my mind. I take a pic and send it to Quinn.

When you decide you’re ready to meet us, we’ll be here

But until then, I can’t keep doing this

Jasper, please

Figure out what you want, Quinn

Because I know what I want

I want us to give this thing a chance

A real chance

Take your time, Quinn
