I said
which days are you working out now
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
would THURSDAY be a
BETTER day
YES
SO
this morning I texted
do you want to do
the things
TODAY
-- since she hadn't ever answered more than yes, it is a BETTER day -- which, in fairness, does not say: I'd PREFER to do a BETTER day -- DOES it go without saying?
YES
she said
OK
I'm getting in the shower
I said
LATER, I text
I need another twenty or thirty minutes
she texts back
CLOSER to ONE
are you PICKING me up
YES
THEN
at six minutes after one
she texts
I need another twenty or thirty minutes
OK
has she lost track of time
just realized that
it's AFTER
the time
she was supposed to be there
& she hasn't STARTED
getting ready YET
are you OK
I text back
YES
just SLOW
well I guess I can make another cup of coffee
I think to myself
I head to the
KITCHEN
on my way to the car
she texts
WAIT
what happened to twenty, thirty minutes
WHICH
of those things is true
DO I make coffee
OR
NOT
