That last part made me go feral. I’d taken my first line of coke that night and gone on a four-day bender with Base in America. I love you. Nope, she didn’t love me. She had no idea what love was. I blocked her right after I typed several responses without sending any. It was only days later that Bernadette approached me outside of the dance studio as I contemplated going in, and I wish so fucking much I’d walked away from her false offer.
