I returned the favor

with a totally foul, “Yessss?”

(Then thought,

jeez, what if it’s Adam?)

Hey, Kristina. It’s Sarah.

How are you? How was your

trip? Tell me all about it!

How was your dad? Sweet?

Did you meet any cute boys?

Sarah—my best friend since

4th grade. Crazy smart,

pretty in an Irish sort of way,

with embarrassing freckles

and wicked red hair she was

forever trying to tame.

Did your dad have a pool?

Did you get a tan?

What did you do for fun?

What could I tell her?

How much did I dare?
