Me:
What’s ONE hobby you guys like to do?
Payne:
Art, don’t say s?—
Art:
Sex.
Payne:
You were asking for that one.
I laugh because he’s right. When it comes to Art, I know I need to be more specific.
Me:
Fine. Because someone needs guidelines, something other than sex or anything sexual or immature or gross. Things that would be listed specifically as hobbies in the dictionary.
Griff:
I don’t think you know how dictionaries work.
Orson:
What’s going on? This is a random question even for you.
Me:
I went out with Luke and when he asked me to talk about myself, I had nothing. I don’t want to have nothing.
Payne:
As in things that we do in our free time, just for us? Beau colors in. I like to go for a run or play with my nieces. Plan out more fun for Killer Adventures.
Me:
See? See how easy that was for you?
Orson:
Are we going to skip over the part where you went out with someone who wasn’t Davey?
Me:
That’s not important.
Keller:
Considering Davey’s all we’ve heard about for the last few weeks and you’re still madly in love with him, it’s kind of important.
I take a measured breath, trying not to get frustrated. I’ve already mentally moved on from all of this, but I suppose reading my mind isn’t something they’ve mastered yet, which seems like an oversight on their behalf.
Me:
I wanted to see if it was possible to move on. It isn’t. Luke and I are happy as friends. Davey never wanted to get divorced, and then we had sex, and I’ve decided I’ll be traveling with him when he leaves, but I want to work out all the details first before I say anything. Before all that, I need to make sure I have a life outside of him. Apparently that’s something I’ve lost, and I’d like to not be a terrible partner when I’m following him all over the country. All caught up?
