People don’t call me. I don’t call people.

When I look up from my phone, I have to turn around to locate Duncan.
He’s picking up used tissues scattered around my couch and straightening the pile of books on my end table. Little things he used to do when we were together too.
“You don’t have to do that,”
“I’m a figment of your imagination. When I leave, your apartment will be messy again and you can do all of the dishes and picking up yourself.”
“You’re not funny.”
“I am, but you’re Coach Addie-ing me with all of your walls up. It’s fine. I know you think I’m funny under the badass glare. All good with the Fireballs?”
This man. He’s not wrong, and that bothers me more than it should. I test my head as I rise from the ...

Which means my eyes are watering already as he says, “No innuendos, no ulterior motives, if you need help, if it’ll make showering faster…I’m here.”
SOBS FUCK ME
I didn’t expect her to say yes.
But she did, and so here I am, stripped down to my boxers in Addie’s bathroom, standing in her shower with her, shampooing her hair.
Nothing I haven’t seen before, I said when she gave me a side-eye at my of...

“Waverly’s stylist fixed my hair yesterday,” she says, obviously trying to keep this normal by pretending we’re having an everyday conversation where she’s not totally naked and I’m nearly so. “First time it got washed since…that thing that wasn’t your fault.”
My dick is holding the majority of the blood in my body right now,
Good 2 know..
This is one of those corner shower numbers next to the bathtub. Small.
Almost too small for me to keep enough distance so Addie doesn’t notice the boner from hell.
I fucked up four years ago. I don’t want to...

I choose to find out if Addie’s still the woman I fell for. I choose to do everything I know to do to see if I can fit into her life.
Seeing her last week wasn’t an unfortunate coincidence.
It was the universe’s way of telling me to quit lying to myself when I say I’ve let her go. When I say it was her fault we broke up. To face the fact that I’ve consciously or subconsciously compared every woman I’ve dated in the last four years to Addie Bloom, and every last one has come up lacking next to her.

Captain Lavalier, I have dutifully accepted that you won what I offered, which is only what I offended and nothing I didn’t offramp, even though I object to your use of Canadian Ehs as currency in an American auction, and so you can pick one single date lasting no more than 3 hours from sunrise to sunset to get schooled so bad you’ll be crying for your mama when my creatures come up with new and inventive ways to murder your creches over tea.
😭😭
It was badass Addie with a hint of what the fuck just happened and a dash of alcohol.
