“Should I break out the ‘I told you so’?” Gabriel asks smugly.

“No, because technically we didn’t break up,” I answer defiantly. He’s not going to get me to admit that I was wrong about Topher.

“Sarah, he’s gay,” he reminds me.

“And . . .” I offer dismissively.

“And that would mean that he doesn’t like girls,” he explains, and although I know he can’t see me, I roll my eyes at the obvious.

“Of course he likes girls,” I answer stubbornly. “Some of his best friends are girls.”

“But not in the way you’d want him to like you,” he notes.

“It’s a minor technicality,” I remark casually, as if it’s the most natural thing in the world to say.

“A minor technicality?” he asks incredulously. “Unless you’re planning to live a celibate life, Sarah, I’d say it is more than a technicality.”

“I’m living a celibate life now, so what’s the difference. At least, this way, I get to spend time with a sophisticated, witty, and very handsome man.”

“Who happens to be gay,” he points out.

“Again, a minor technicality,” I repeat myself. “We have a lot of fun together, Gabriel,” I reason.

“I’m sure you do, but . . .” he begins.

“But nothing,” I interrupt him. I don’t want to hear logic. Instead, I point out all of the reasons why I should see Topher again. “We like the same things and he makes me laugh. He’s also not bad on the eyes.”

“I thought that the whole point of using the service was to actually find someone to be with,” he says, placing emphasis on the word “be” to imply something more than friendship.

“I’ve decided on a new game plan,” I announce.

“And what’s that?” Gabriel asks in an amusing tone.

“Step one . . .”

He interrupts me before I can finish, “Oh, so now we have steps. Before we had lists.”

I choose to ignore his snarky comment, “Step one: Stop taking this so seriously and start having fun.”

“I like the first step,” he remarks. “Go on . . .”

“Step two: Enjoy each date for what it is. Not all of them have to lead somewhere. As long as I’m putting myself out there and meeting as many guys as possible, I’m on the right track. I have to stop being so picky.”

“Wait!” he exclaims. “I’ve been telling you this all along, but somehow Mr. Broadway mentions it and it’s suddenly a brilliant idea.” He imitates a British accent as he says this.

“His name is Topher,” I correct him. “And he’s just a friend.”

“Of course he is because he likes boys!” he nearly shouts.

I laugh at his comment and then add, “Can please we focus on my new plan?”

“Why, of course, my lady. I’m at your disposal,” he says still using a British accent in a playfully deferential tone of voice.

“Thank you!” I offer in a regal voice, doing my best to channel the Queen of England.

“I bet Mr. Broadway isn’t as helpful as I am, is he?” he continues to tease me, dropping the accent.

“Can we concentrate on me now? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you have a little crush on him.
