I hesitated.
Someone from behind me yelled, “Get on the bus!”
I took a deep breath and gave her my answer.
And then, I smiled.
I walked on the bus and felt a whiff of relief fall over me. I didn’t think I could think of an answer that quick. I took the invitation. At this point I didn’t even want to go, all of this talk about it, I was pretty much just a backup because she needed enough people to fill two vans. I took the invite, I will tell Bridget that I “already have plans” and she’ll need to find someone else to fill my place in the van. Meredith gave me the idea, she said that she just wanted to get an invite so she could say no. I only took this to say no, and it’s what Bridget deserves.
When I got home I went to the phone right away
