“A bit. A little bit, actually.”

“Ok, well…” I stammered, desperate to change the subject, “anyway, do you think we’re…you know, a good match?”

“I think you two compliment each other really well. And I think it’s the type of thing where there’s a lot to learn and a lot you could teach each other about the value of life. She could teach you how to relax and let things happen and you could teach her the importance of a well-organized sock drawer and the beauty that order can bring. But either way, you grow. There’s never anything wrong with growth.”

“Yeah…yeah, I guess so.”

“Trust me.”

“Fine, I trust you. So, how are things with Tiger Beat?”

“Aiden?”

“If that’s the name he’s going by these days, sure.”

“It’s funny you should ask, actually.”

“Wait, wait. Why are you blushing right now? What is this?”

“He proposed last night.”

What? What?!

“What?!”

“Yeah, at the top of Dolores Park where they filmed that scene from ‘Sweet November.’”

“Oh, I love that movie!”

“It’s so sad, though.”

“I know. But it’s so fucking sweet.”
