19 Conversations With a Friend
1. "Did you listen to the new Radiohead song?"
"God, it was glorious."
2. A sharp jab in the ribs. A pull on a hand and a whisper in the ear, "That's him."
3. "Are you going to the dance?"
"I don't know. I was debating whether or now I should go. Should I?"
An earnest nod.
4. The candle is blown out.
5. A phone rings in the dark.
6. "I have no friends!"
7. "Where are you going? I'm right here."
8. You run out of tissues.
9. "Since we're in the neighborhood already, can we go to the Richard Rodgers Theater? Just so I can take a picture in front of the Hamilton sign.
"Honestly...."
"Hm?"
"I'd go anywhere with you."
10. You grab her arm to keep from falling over with laughter.
11. She almost rolls down the stairs.
12. "Well, what the hell does that make me?"
13. Your eyes are sad-but-not-sad in the way most eyes get when the hour turns late.
14. No, don't say that. Say instead, "What do you mean?"
15. "Oh my God, you are poison."
16. Your phone runs out of battery.
17. Stop feeding the world when you can't even feed yourself.
18. You waste your ink.
19. You don't.
