I don't know how this happened. Or why exactly. But about an hour after Jay made his entrance, I was sitting in the chairs of my room, with Jay across me, two plates ahead of us and a lot of take-out food that he had brought from all my restaurants kept on the small round table between us.
There was a feigned smile on my lips as Jay told me all about his day, there was this very important deal he had today that he was very nervous for, and he had bagged it– that is what we were apparently celebrating with this good.
And yet, my thoughts kept drifting to Caleb.
He asked me for dinner. And then Jay came, causing them to greet each other and Caleb to disappear inside, quote, 'leave you both to yourself.. enjoy the night.'
"–So he told me that–"
Enjoy the night. Huh.
What didn't absolu
