SPENCER:
I was going to do it.
I was finally, finally going to do it.
And you know why, guys? You the know the kind of inspiration a girl needs to send her running back—full of alcohol and apologies—to her ex-fiancée?
Her marriage.
It’s not as though things hadn’t changed. Ashley and I had both made a conscious effort to get along. Her hands stayed off my groceries, her name no longer followed a string of screeching profanities when I accidentally tripped over a discarded boot in the middle of the night, and we had even taken to mutually watching A&E prison documentaries most nights of the week.
But that’s just it, people!
Don’t you get it?
If I could make this marriage with Ashley work—in our own twisted yet tolerable way, then maybe I was finally ready to make it work with Carmen. Maybe I was finally ready to put down the pre-perforated, color-coded labeling sheets and pick up the phone.
Of course, there was the risk that she would reject me. I wasn’t rejected often. I had gotten into the two schools of my choice, been approved for every credit card I had ever applied for…and what else? Oh, that one year in high school when I tried out for wrestling team. The guys didn’t appreciate my tendency to sanitize the mats after every practice, so that didn’t last very long. But still…
Oh! And babies liked me. If they didn’t, it was only because they could usually sense my hatred for their parents.
Enough examples.
You get it.
Rejection had never been my thing, right? And now I had to put my heart on the line for the one person who had done just that. Rejected me.
“Why are you talking to yourself?”
“Am I not allowed to talk to myself?”
“No, you are…I guess.”
She frowned at me as she leaned against the doorframe of my bathroom, where I was having a serious discussion with myself in the mirror.
It’s not weird. Trust me. It sounds weird, yeah. But at one point, so did the idea of online Scrabble to somebody.
“Do you need something?” I asked with a tired smile.
It had been a long day. A client had complained to the head of Gensler that I was (supposedly) “difficult to work with.” The woman had the taste of Elton John and Christina Aguilera’s love child.
