We need to talk. ASAP.

I need to stop this. Now. Before it gets worse.

Willow responds in seconds.

Yes, sir ;)

I just hope there’s still time for me to fix this.

We meetat a Starbucks by my work. Nothing personal. Just a big box chain that means nothing to me or to her and definitely nothing to us.

“What do you want?” I ask when we get up to the counter, my jaw is so tight I’m afraid my teeth might break.

“You’re buying? How sweet…” Willow says and strokes her hand down my arm. “Venti iced Americano, please.”

The cashier looks at me.

I shake my head. “Nothing for me.”

“I can’t drink coffee alone, Drew,” Willow chides.

I shake off her arm and reach into my pocket for my wallet. “Fine. Coffee.”

“What size?”

“Small? Tall?”

“Whatever.”

The cashier taps a few buttons on the computer. “Would you like room?”

“No, black. He takes it black,” Willow interrupts and looks at me with insistence in her eyes.

God, she’s starting to scare me.

This sit down can’t come fast enough.

We grab out coffees and take a table by the window. “Well, I’m so happy you finally came to your senses and decided to reply to my text, Drew.”

“I should have come to them a lot sooner,” I say, folding my hands on the table.

“I agree. So, she’s in the past, right? What’s her name? Diana?”

I clear my throat. “Dana.”

“Right.”

“No, she’s not in the past. She’s very much in my present.”

Willow blinks wetly. “Well…I’ve never been much into ethical non-monogamy, but I guess–“

“No, Willow, you’re misunderstanding. I’m seeing Dana. I’m not seeing you.”

She frowns slightly.

“It’s time you let it go, huh?”
