Chapter 16

I didn’t say the words.

The text message from Mai comes a day after I’ve been back from Mexico. I nearly tripped over my own feet dashing across the hotel room to grab the phone from where it sits charging on the desk.

I didn’t say the words. Come back home, please. We should talk.

Three damn days later. But at least she sent the message. Stupid hope rises up in my chest like an ill-timed burp.

Does she want me to come now?

Automatically, my mind reaches out for hers. Again, nothing. She’s cut off my mental access to her as easily as blocking my number from calling her phone. I swallow the hope and accompanying sadness, looking down at the last part of the text. We should talk. Nobody in the history of relationships ever wants to hear or see those words.

But I need to see her more than I want to avoid the implied threat.

A quick glance at Mai’s online calendar gives me a jolt. She and I have a date.

Is that why she texted me today?

With no room for second-guessing, I mentally rearrange my calendar: Sleep, mope, and sad masturbate until my fingers fall off get moved to tomorrow, and I prep myself for seeing Mai tonight.
