“And?” Val prods.
I roll my eyes. I don’t really want to hear all the details. “Office romance isn’t a good way to start, Blanc. Tell me he isn’t your boss?”
“No, it’s not that cliché.”
“But it’s a little cliché?” Val asks, and I watch her mind whirling.
Blanca shrugs. “Kind of.”
“An office romance! Are you guys pinned against one another?” Val asks.
Blanca chuckles. “No.”
“Oh! Oh! Are you his boss?” Val raises her hand as if we’re in a game show.
I roll my eyes again.
“Nope.” Blanca shakes her head.
“What about… is he an ex?” Val asks.
Blanca’s smile falls. “Sort of?”
“Is he an ex of one of your friends?” I ask.
Blanca’s face drains of color, and she nods.
“Dom! You can’t opt out of playing and then steal the winning answer. I was playing!” Val crosses her arms over her tummy that holds my son or daughter.
“Sorry,” I mumble.
And then Blanca buries her head in a pillow and cries. Val looks at me and I widen my eyes. This is her territory. I do the business advice. She’s the relationship advice go-to.
She slides closer to Blanca and wraps her arm around her shoulders. “Like how close of a friend?”
“My best friend. One of my roommates.”
Val shoots me a look over Blanca’s head, and I don’t need to be a relationship expert to know that a friend’s ex is a no-fly zone.
