Luke walked into the kitchen with a stack of dirty dishes from outside. Mindi was standing at the sink rinsing platters and loading them into the dishwasher. When she heard him come, in she turned to take the load that he brought in.

“I’m surprised you’re still here. Everybody else has left,” she said, the tension showing in her voice. I know I feel like running.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get out of your hair as soon as I’ve helped clean up,” he answered her with a bite to his tone. Dang it. Now she doesn’t want me here.

Great. Now she felt like she had hurt his feelings. He seemed angry now. “That’s not what I meant. I just figured with everything that went on, you might be ready to get out of here. I’m not trying to run you off. I would never do that.”

He sat the dishes down on the counter, and started to turn back to the door. Before he knew what was happening, she had grabbed him. He let her spin him back around without trying to resist. She was kissing him like she was drowning, and he was the only way to get air.

He pushed her back gently. “Mindi, stop. As much as I enjoy kissing you, you are dating someone else. I’m not going to be the other guy no matter who it is I’m kissing.” And this pushing you away is killing me.

“I thought you said you weren’t going to back off. You were going to fight and win.”

“I know, but you said you wanted to get things in the right order. So, I’m letting you decide.” I wish you would hurry up and decide. Before I lose my mind.

He turned and started to walk out of the room. He had reached the door, and was starting to push through it. She knew she had to tell him the truth. The time had come, and if she didn’t tell him now, she feared she never would.

“I’m not dating anyone,” she just blurted out, trying to get it over with quickly.

He stopped with his hand still on the swinging door, and spoke without turning. “You mean, you’ve broken up with him?”

She thought seriously for a moment about just letting him believe that was what had happened. It would be a whole lot easier, but she knew she had to go all the way. Phillip is right. It is very important I tell him the truth. The whole truth, even if he does get angry with me. Or laughs at me. I’m more afraid he’s going to laugh at me. After all, I’m used to him being angry at me.

So, she took a deep breath, and once again, she blurted out the truth. “I lied.” He just stood there with his back to her. “I never was dating anyone. Jeff is a friend. But he’s only thirteen. He really is a medical student. He’s a genius, and no one else ever talks to him.” Her voice was starting to shake.
