“At least you didn’t sleep with him,” Ronnie said as she unloaded the baby from the car seat in Emma’s living room. “Old Emma would have sat right down and checked out that mattress.” Ronnie let a giggle ripple out from her chest.

“Shut up,” Emma said. “I mean, you’re right. Old Emma would have married him.”

“Did marry him.”

“Whatever.”

“So you’re growing. That’s a good thing. There’s progress. Now pour me a half glass of that wine. I can’t have you drinking alone.”

“Ronnie with a half glass. Who would have ever guessed?”

“Can it.”

“I feel like I’m never going to find the guy.”

“You only started this online dating thing. You’ve only been on literally one weekend of dates. You have to stop trying so hard. You can’t make someone the guy. What about the other two?”

“Rick.”

“The dog park guy?”

“Yeah. He just kind of vanished. Like at the end of the date, he said he wanted to go out again. We messaged a little bit back and forth, never set anything up. Then poof.”

“You don’t want yet another poofer.”

“No. I wasn’t super into him, so I’m kind of letting him go.”

“So there’s the meathead?”

“Yes. Drew.”

“What’s happening with him?”

“He actually messages me pretty consistently. He has even called me after our date. We’re supposed to go out again. I have to get my schedule tomorrow and see when I can actually squeeze in a date.”

“Ah. See? One is still in play. How long is this three job bullshit going to last?”

“As long as it has to I guess. I can’t pay the mortgage with one job, and there is so much debt from Justin.”

“Why don’t you sell the house? File for bankruptcy? Something.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t want to. This is my house. I made this my house after Justin insisted we get a new one. I love this house. I wanted to have my children in this house. And the debt is my mistake too. I let him charge all that stuff on cards in my name. This is my mess. I want to get out of it myself.”

“That’s admirable, sweetie, but shouldn’t there be some kind of pain point, a threshold where it’s not worth teaching yourself a lesson? You could start over with a bankruptcy. Your credit wouldn’t be any more worse off.”

“No. I’ll get there on my own.”

“I believe you will, but how are you going to have any sort of life, meet any sort of person, and have a relationship if you are working so much you don’t even have time to sleep? Especially when you refuse to date anyone you meet through your three jobs.”

“I don’t know.”
