“Jay?” My voice softened. “Are you being serious right now? One
day you’re talking about something you really want, and the next day
you want to forget it. What’s going on?”
“Nothing. I’m just not feeling it today. I’m not feeling like getting
a girlfriend.” He shrugged nonchalantly and made air quotes around
the word girlfriend.
I wanted to say something to defend my plan, but he stopped me
and said he wanted to go to bed. Even though, when I checked my
phone clock, it was just 7:30 p.m.—and we usually sleep at the same
time, 9 p.m.
So it was like he was finding an excuse not to talk about the plan
anymore.
He waved through the screen and clicked the hang–up button right
before I said goodnight.
