Did you know that alligators can’t stick their tongues out? Not sure why, but I thought you’d like to know that.

I need your help. I’ve got a date tonight. Shocking, I know. Should I wear loafers or dress shoes?

And before you ask, I’m not sending feet pics, you perv. You just have to imagine it.

We’re not going anywhere super fancy, but this girl seems more…high class than I’m used to, and I REFUSE to ask my best friend again. Last time, he said I looked like I belonged on The Widgles—he meant Wiggles.

I need an answer in the next .2 seconds, so hurry it up.

Pls say dress shoes, ’cause I already have them on.

There are very, very few things I hate more than getting ready for a date. I mean it when I say I would rather stick my pinkie toe in lava than spend an hour in front of a mirror trying to figure out which tie matches my eyes better.

And in the hours leading up to the date, I’d have this urge to pee like all the time. Was that what butterflies felt like? Or maybe I needed to see a doctor. Either way, I was so unbelievably uncomfortable. I hadn’t even left my room, and I was already over tonight.

But no, my big, dumb heart was chasing the adrenaline that only one girl sent coursing through me. The girl who had the power to break the best, most meaningful friendship I’d ever had.

Once again, I reminded myself that it wasn’t possible. It never would be. If I could drill that into my thick skull, then maybe my heart would believe it too.

I sighed, combing my hair and looking over my outfit one more time. Black pants that I wore to work on the regular, a light brown button-up, sans tie, with the top two buttons undone, and shoes that matched well enough for me to stop overthinking.

Calla was moving around in the kitchen, probably grabbing a bowl for cereal, humming, and bouncing around on her tiptoes in her giant pajamas with a soft blanket draped over her shoulders. The vision was crystal clear in my mind, and it made me want to stay home so, so badly. I wanted to snuggle on the couch with her and watch baseball highlights. Or maybe rewatch the latest episode of The Bachelorette while Calla held a giant popcorn bowl and we took turns tossing pieces into each other’s mouths.

Instead, I was
