Mom followed me into the kitchen. She watched me make a sandwich. Finally, she said, “It isn’t what you think.”

“Of course it is,” I said. “And please don’t try to tell me how complicated it is, because—barf.”

“Well, Zoe, it isn’t as simple as choosing between awesome high school boy number one and awesome high school boy two,” Mom said. “Your father and I share a history.”

“You realize he’s only into you again because now it’d be cheating, right? Cheating on Shereene. With you,” I said. “And you’d be cheating too. How does it feel?”

“Why don’t you tell me? How does it feel, Zoe?”

“God, Mom. How’s that the same thing?”

“What’s not the same about it?” she said. “What special ethical pass do you carry while you gallivant around town with Digby?”

“He’s dating someone else.” I hated saying it. “Digby’s dating someone else. He doesn’t like me that way.”

To her credit, Mom snapped out of it. “Oh, Zoe, I’m sorry—”

Mom and I jumped when Cooper walked into the kitchen and said, “Sorry for what?”

Nothing looks guiltier than two people saying “Nothing” and running in opposite directions. Which is what we did.
