I spend the afternoon in the apartment, pacing around the living room, flipping through channels on TV. Luke texts. I'm worried about you. What would he say if he knew what really happened? What would he do if he caught me binging and purging? Would he freak out, utterly unable to handle it? Or would he stay calm and collected like Ryan does?

It's not like I do it all the time. This was the first time I've done it since treatment. But it might happen again, and I can't be with someone who can't handle it. I can't be with someone who is scared of how ugly I can get.

I'm getting ahead of myself again. Luke hasn't had a chance to fuck things up yet. He might not even want to fuck things up. He might want to be with Samantha.

Besides, I'm not supposed to be thinking of him at all. I'm supposed to eradicate him from my thoughts.

But he offered an explanation, and I want to hear it.

Or do you want another chance to be in his apartment, in his presence, his skin pressed against yours?

I text Luke. “When do I get this explanation?”

He replies 30 minutes later. “Ryan has an early meeting tomorrow. Come by my apartment at 8. We'll have at least two hours before he could possibly interrupt.”

“What do you think you're getting in your apartment?” I reply.

“Well, my first choice would be a long day with you. Breakfast, tea, conversation, a movie, something black and white maybe. Then we could try using the bed. I hear those are popular.”

“Luke…” I reply.

“I'm not an idiot. All I expect is 15 minutes to explain things. Okay?”

But what if I'd rather skip all the talking and try using the bed? What if I want to channel Marie Jane and find the perfect distraction from how much I've fucked everything up?

What if Luke really is in love with this other woman?
