“Uhh, so... Your partner, Agatha... Is that all she is?” Melissa asks as soon as we’re alone, looking directly into my eyes and still smiling. God, she got brave this past month, didn’t she? I don’t even know what to say to that. I just stay silent for a few seconds until it gets awkward and then I start walking towards the vet clinic, pretending I didn’t heard anything... but Melissa doesn’t get the hint and she keeps going, “I'm just asking because I've been watching the news lately and I’ve seen that you guys are going out a lot.”
This is annoying as shît.
“Agatha is an old friend of mine,” I lie when we get to the clinic. I don’t want to have more eye côntact with her, so I end up watching the treatment of a malnourished, hideous puppy being done. I have to make use of all my willpo
