Chapter 12Hey, Ben,
I have a major question I need to ask of you—a real life-changer. I’ve been trying to approach the subject for a while.
Reservations.
Cold feet.
Chickenshit.
Now, finally, when I made my mind up to just do it, like your competitor’s ad says, the chickenshit subconsciousness of me suddenly decides it’s not an “in writing” thing.
Face to face, dude.
So next time I see ya—unless of course I haven’t broached the topic with Carrie Ann yet—it’s only right I talk to her first—and maybe my parents. Definitely my parents. Big-ass elephant in the room last time we were all together.
Tension…knife.
What I’m saying, Ben, is these things gotta be done with a certain amount of thought. I think you have a good idea what’s coming up. My parents love to sail that river in Egypt
