“Of course you aren’t. That would be totally insensitive of me.”
“It really would be.” I lean a shoulder against the hallway partition. “I do have a line, and you don’t want to cross it.”
“Would it be crossing the line if I told you that Jeremy has a really cute roommate who’s also an architecture major?”
“Depends. Have you seen him in leather pants?”
“Not yet. I could scope that out for you if you’d like.”
“Maybe.” I peer down at the envelope in my hand. “But I might not be ready to date anyone. This is going to sound weird, but it’s actually been kind of nice, being single and concentrating on school.”
“Ah, so that’s how you’ve been dealing with the breakup?”
“Possibly. But senior year is busy anyhow with final projects and now working on these stupid graduate school applications. Breaking up with Cal might have actually been a blessing in disguise. If I don’t figure out a plan for next year soon, I might be heading off to get my MBA.”
“Your parents are still pushing for that?”

“Ooh la la,” I sing, raising my brows with each syllable. “Somebody’s getting some. Just be sure to practice safe sex.”
“Thanks, mother,” she jokes back.
“You’re very welcome, dear.”
