Why was he even texting me in the first place? What could I say to that? I didn’t want him to get the wrong idea. It wasn’t as if something could ever happen between us, but at the same time, I didn’t want him to lose interest. It was just harmless flirting for a little while, and then we would both move past it. I didn’t even know how you were supposed to flirt with a man—a thirty-four-year-old man at that.
