Brett watches me in silence for a moment. “You sure?”
“Yup.”
“No hard feelings?”
I shrug. “None, unless you keep projecting weird shit I haven’t done onto me.”
Brett sighs and adds nothing further. I guess that’s as far as apologies go. Fine by me. I’m not expecting to become the dude’s BFF.
My phone pings, and because I haven’t dropped it, I lift it right away. It’s another text from Tinker Bell, picking up the previous conversation.
Sparks
I can bring a piñata
I don’t even care that my roommate may think I’ve lost the plot. Her text makes me freaking giggle like a five-year-old.
Me
No need for that
But my mom is making tiramisu
If you want
Is it too much, too soon? Probably. I freak out three seconds after hitting Send.
Sparks
So like
Meeting your family?
“Aurghhhaaah.”
“So you do speak caveman,” Brett murmurs.
I spring to a sitting position. My heart pounds even faster as the three dots appear on the screen. She’s typing something even before I can think of how to not sound overbearing. I have to clean this up fast.
Me
I mean not necessarily
I just have to drop by for tiramisu, but I can pick you up after that
Sparks
It’d be cool to meet them
See where the next Sidney Crosby comes from
Me
Isn’t it too soon? We’re not even dating
It’s a big gamble, but I hit Send. Her three dots appear right away, but I still feel like I’m in free fall as I read her response.
Sparks
