But as I thought more about it, I realized the main reason I wanted another meetup with Reed was nothing to do with our deal. I just wanted to spend more time with him, which was a clear sign I shouldn’t. After tonight, I needed some time to try to regroup. The line between what was real and what was fake in our relationship had blurred a little. And I didn’t want to see Reed again until that haziness disappeared and the line became crystal clear once more.
