Amanda Takes Off...

Jennifer and Gym Guy tell us to meet them at Place X via Place A.

Good Man decides we will get to Place X via Place B.

"Are you sure this isn't a mistake, [Good Man]?"

"Yes, I am sure, this station is the same name as the intersection they want to meet us at. It will be closer." I think they would've told us, and I tell him so, but he is adamant.

We get off and discover Place A would have been closer. He finds out from Gym Guy on the phone but doesn't tell me; I can tell from Good Man's end of the conversation. "Did you make a mistake?" I tease him.

"It was not a mistake," he argues. I tease him some more and he finally says, "It was not a mistake. It was my decision. Yes. It was not a mistake."

It was not a mistake. It was my decision.

I am going to remember that one.

"Can I watch soccer tonight?"

"Sure," I answer, "Is Manchester playing?"

"Yes."

Later, while he's watching the game and I'm reading photography articles on the internet, he asks if I'm bored. "No, I'm having fun. But. I think we've reached a new state in our relationship."

"Why?"

"You're watching sports at my house."

He laughs at me.
