I squirm, feeling like I’m being interrogated, but the softness of Foster’s face has me forging on.
“Actually,” I say, leaning into the taupe cushion at my shoulder, “nothing happened between us, and that’s why she’ll be upset.”
He squints. “Wait, so your mom would be mad because nothing happened? Now, I’m really confused.”
“No.” I sit up. “She’s going to be upset because he’s getting married…and it’s not to me.”
He furrows his brow. “Are you secret royalty or something? You weren’t betrothed to each other, were you?”
I sputter a guffaw. “No, but my mother makes great efforts at ensuring that life turns out the way she’s planned. She’s a very adamant person.”
Foster rests his elbows on his knees. “Plans are for fools who are naive and selfish. No one can predict anyone’s life, no matter how hard they might try. At the end of the day, everyone was gifted with something called free will. If she loves you, she’ll respect your choice.”
“Then, I don’t know if she loves me that much.”
“That’s really fucked up.”
“Tell me about it.”
