A nice thing about a best girlfriend is that she can help you keep your outlook honest with some nice, old-fashioned good cop, bad cop-style role playing. In for questioning: your notion of whether the latest twist in your love life is innocent or guilty. Your next move: call your girlfriend and see what she thinks is going on, here.
Char is a romantic. So she automatically assumes I’m going to live happily ever after, even if the evidence for that is as scanty as the lace on a Victoria Secret sales rack. Case in point: when I told her that Gil called — to ask me out . . . only I don’t really know if, technically, he’d “asked me out.†It’s not like he called and said, “Paige, I really want to date you . . .â€
And with our history . . . you can’t blame me for wondering. But Char seemed to think . . . how did she put it? I can’t remember exactly right now . . . something about that I should just pretend he’d asked me out, and it would all be okay, I guess.
Kinda sounds like Ithaca all over. Sigh.
I supposed I’d better go take a shower. I’ve got about an hour. Barely enough time for me to get my hair washed and dried, let alone decide whether to wear Date clothes or We’re-Just-Friends clothes.
Double sigh.
