I Am Curious (Thirty)

April 3

Eric still hasn’t called.

I am of two minds about this, she said deliberately. No, I really am. On the one hand I would just as soon he never called. He had his fun with me, she said grimly. And I with him, as far as that goes, and it did open me up, no question about it.

But.

But he scares the shit out of me, to be both crude and accurate about it. So on the one hand I would as soon stay with what I’ve got, that being David and Arnold and the sun in the morning and the moon at night.

On the other hand, if he called I would be glad of it, and I would go to him. Unquestionably.
