"Sorry... my mind wandered there for a second." "Don't worry about it Tabitha. Penny for your thoughts?" I thought about it, for just the briefest of moments. My mind put forth a lovely tableau of what it would be like to tell him. To say in no uncertain terms that listening to him had been such a chore that my mind had gone for a stroll. He'd be angry at first, of course, what with the wounded pride and all. That was where my hypothetical ended and pure fantasy began though. He'd leave in a huff, but rather than drowning his sorrows in some nearby bar, he'd walk under the streetlights and stars, wondering why I rebuked him so sternly in the middle of a date. He'd think back on all of the others where it hadn't worked out, and see himself staring back, the one-sidedness of his attachments. Jonas would take the blunt words which had only hurt at first and build them into a springboard for changing his life. He'd commit himself to personal growth, find a nice girl, settle down, have 2.5 children and a white picket fence. Despite the tension staying in contact with an ex caused, he'd send me a Christmas card every year with a picture of his family, thanking me for helping him finally wake up and seize a better life.
