You don’t get it. He’s my best friend and we went into this relationship and broke up and I don’t have my best friend anymore. And… He flirts and sleeps around and can be not that nice to other girls sometimes but he doesn’t do that to me. Cause we’re best friends.

You just said you haven’t talked to him in a month. Best friends go that long without speaking? It doesn’t really make any sense. He was your best friend, and now he’s not, but you’re still best friends in a way. That’s not how that works, Charlotte. You don’t go back to best friends after a break up. You just can’t. The relationship has changed and it doesn’t revert.

He thinks I’m hung up on him? Like in a bad way?

We haven’t really talked in awhile. A month. It’s a month tomorrow.

You’re counting?

You mean for you?

Yeah, kind of. I’ve been trying to spend time with you and figure you out because I really like you, but I haven’t cracked you much. My whole plan was, once you came back from New York, I was going to sweep you off your feet, but now it seems like you have a guard dog who doesn’t know he’s been set free. He implied that you weren’t exactly emotionally available since you two were just so close and you must be hung up on him. So, I’ve gotta ask, am I wasting my time?

We were living together before we started dating. Then we broke up. Besides, Kai lives with us. So it’s not like it’s just us.

It sounds unbelievably complicated.

What… What’d he say? What’d you say?

That you two are rather close, which is odd to me. Also, is it common for people to live with their exes?

You met Ethan?

Interesting guy.

You met Kai?

No, Ethan. How many ex-boyfriend’s do you live with?

Yeah? Break new ground with the hotel?

Yep. I’m at the insulation stage now. Also kind of broke into the staff grapevine. Ran into your roommate.

We came right after the snow and left right before it started right up.

Glad you’re back safe.

It was okay. Cold. I’ve never been up north.

Ever get snowed in?
