Her face got funny.
“What?” I demanded.
“Okay, I can see how he flummoxed you with his openness and sharing and sensitivity about the Elsie Fay-Macy issue.”
I took her by the arms and gave her a shake. “Loon, he took the big bag I’d invited him to pack and walked out on me this morning.Make sense.”
Her brows rose. “You asked him to bring over a bag?”
I let her go and begged, “Luna, please, focus.”
She nodded. “Right. I thought you knew what you’d signed on for when you signed on with him. Now, I’m not sure you did. So, okay, there are guys who are, you know, great guys who listen and share and treat you like an equal partner and are, well, the kids these days call it,enlightened.”
Oh boy.
I got where she was going with this.
And it gave me a very bad feeling.
She kept doing that.
“Then there are guys like Cap who can listen and share and treat you like an equal partner who are kinda still throwbacks to another time.”
“He told me he was worried about me and wanted to take care of me. I told him I didn’t need him to take care of me.”
She stretched out her lips in anEek!face.
Fuck!
I gave it all to her. “I also told him I didn’t belong to him and never would.”
“Yikes,” she whispered.
“He was being a dick,” I defended myself.
“I’m reading from this you didn’t get a chance to liquor him up and tell him about Clarice and the whole thing.”
I sighed.
After I did that, I pointed out the obvious. “No, Luna, I didn’t get the chance to liquor him up and tell him about Clarice and the whole thing.”
“You probably should have done that.”
I turned to the corner of the bar where we were standing at the entry to the bar back, dropped my head to it and started pounding.
She pulled me away from the bar.
When I looked at her, she suggested, “Maybe he just walked away to cool off.”
“And took his bag with him?”
Her face got sad.
I turned to pound my head on the bar again.
Luna pulled me away again. “Give him time to do that. Cool off, I mean. And then call him and work it out.”
I was breathing, but even so, my lungs still weren’t getting enough oxygen, and my stomach was knotted up so tight, I thought I might hurl.
