man alive, and promised to call,
wondering what was up. With me.
Had I lost one boyfriend, to gain
two? And how could I possibly
want these two, opposite
> squares on the chessboard?
Damn, your mom is fine.
That wasn’t funny at all. I had to
live with my mom, obey her rules,
accept her punishments. But I would
never accept her as competition.
Not as fine as you, of course.
Okay. Better.
Mom Wanted to Hear All About Brendan
I told her what I knew,
hoping I didn’t talk too
much. Or too fast.
He’s really cute.
Oh, great. Mutual attraction.
I almost opened my mouth,
thought better of it.
Did he ask you out?
In a manner of speaking,
I supposed. Out. In. I
doubted he was picky.
Do we need to have the talk?
At that, I really had to
stifle Bree. Let me tell
you, it wasn’t easy.
He did seem like a nice boy.
