I phone for pizza and salad from a vegan place that Tristan loves. Robby pays, though Tristan argues for paying for half, if not all. (Doesn’t it make you want to coat him in chocolate syrup and eat him up because he’s just so flipping considerate?!)

We watch the game while we wait for the delivery. I thought it was something, you know, current, but it’s some football—soccer—replay from a hundred years ago.

We settle in to watch Uruguay play Ghana. I’d rather watch women’s soccer, but that’s motivated by gender bias. Mia Hamm, Marta Vieira da Silva, Sun Wen, Christine Sinclair, Briana Scurry. Okay, okay, I’ll stop. I’ll also admit there may be a girl-crush thing going because I love watching them play and pretending I could be one of them.

Pizza arrives and I figure we’ll take our slices and go to our respective corners. Robby, cave-dwelling brother, will descend to the bowels of our walk-out basement and watch from the theater room. Tristan and I will resume our screenplay writing, which is really just a front for what’s really going on, the blossoming of young love.

Oh, gross, what a yuck image! EDIT AND DELETE. I think I’m channeling the great-aunties.

Imagine my pique when Tristan grabs his food and urges us to hurry back, because we’re “missing the game.” Now imagine my pique turning to feminine rage at my brother when he doesn’t even blink at his intrusion into my plans.

Point of fact, that lumbering nimrod TAKES OVER MY DATE! One minute Tristan and I are debating if the pink sweater needs a prologue or origin story, the next minute I’m the lone person on the recliner while ROBBY AND TRISTAN SHARE THE LOVE SEAT, patting each other’s shoulders and giving each other high-fives over each score.

My budding romance has just been hijacked and turned into a bromance.
