And I just couldn’t do it anymore. Even if it was part of a game.
After the silence, Patrick did his best to salvage the evening. The first thing he said was, “Well, isn’t this awkward?”
But it didn’t work. Mary Elizabeth walked quickly out of the room and into the bathroom.
Patrick told me later that she didn’t want anyone to see her cry.
Sam followed her, but before she completely left the room, she turned to me and said serious and dark, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
It was the look on her face when she said it. And how much she meant it.
It suddenly made everything seem like it really was. I felt terrible. Just terrible.
Patrick immediately stood up and took me out of Craig’s apartment.
We walked to the street, and the only thing I was aware of was the cold.
I said that I should go back inside and apologize. Patrick said, “No. I’ll get our coats. Just stay here.”
When Patrick left me outside, I started to cry. It was real and panicky, and I couldn’t stop it.
When Patrick came back, I said, really crying, “I really think I should go apologize.”
