He squints. “We eat the same, and it’s not just dinner. There’s texting and phone calls and meeting up with each other for meals and defending yourself if you talk to other girls and all that bullshit about love and feelings you girls throw our way.

“That’s my experience, and I don’t have time for that kind of commitment or the emotional roller coaster right now.”

“Ah,” I singsong, “I get it. She dumped you.”

“Who?”

“Your ex-girlfriend. Don’t worry. I understand. I just had a bad breakup, too. Stupid prickwad was screwing someone else. He couldn’t handle all of my awesomeness anymore.”

“Or maybe it was your colorful personality?” he says sarcastically.

“Again, my awesomeness.”
