We sat in an uncomfortable silence since the moment her 'male' friend excused us and went upstairs.

I'd never been this speechless around anyone before. I had always had the right words for every situation. Always known exactly which ones to reach for and exactly how to deliver them for maximum effect.
Using the right words to describe the exact way I felt now would be an embarrassment to me.
I could never use the word 'nervous' to describe how I f*****g felt sitting on the edge of a couch in a stranger's apartment with both elbows on my knees and my fingers laced together, staring at a patch of floor that had done nothing to deserve this level
