You couldn’t believe the longest relationship I’d ever been in had only lasted for five months.
“Ever?” you asked, as if I might have overlooked a marriage.
I couldn’t say, “I never found anyone who interested me all that much,” because it was only our second date, and the jury was still hearing your case.
I sat there as you excavated your boyfriends, laid the bones out on the table for me to see. I shifted them around, tried to reassemble them, if only to see if they bore any resemblance to me.
