“That’s because we work together. I talk about all the people I work with.”
“Not like you talk about him. Just do it, it wouldn’t be as scary because you already know the guy. And it’s probably frowned upon, so that would definitely make it hotter.”
“Leah…”
“Okay, someone else then. Seriously. Just go out to a bar, pick someone, go home and screw his brains out and get on with your life.”
“As I said: you’re insane.”
“Can you just think about it? Tell me you’ll think about it.”
Lily sighed. “Fine. I’ll think about it.”
“Even though I know you’re lying because I know you too, I’m going to let it go.”
“How very noble of you.”
“Listen, I’ve got to run, Lil.”
“Fine, badger me about getting laid and then hang up on me.”
“You know me. I get in and out as quickly as I can.”
“There’s a dirty joke in there somewhere I’m sure, I just don’t have the energy to suss it out,” Lily responded. “I’ll catch you later.”
Lily set the phone down onto the table in front of her and took another sip of wine, thinking about what her sister had said.
It was far too soon, right? It seemed as though Thomas had just moved out. Sometimes she swore that she could still smell his cologne lingering in the air first thing in the morning. She had once even gone on a pilgrimage for the bottle throughout the house to discern once and for all that it was all in her head. Of course it had been.
She shook her head in an attempt to rid her sisters’ words from her head and took another gulp of wine. She continued to sit there, allowing the warmth of the alcohol to fill her chest, hopeful that it would push out all that was unwelcome there.
