Hazel
I had the feeling I should be upset. Dennis seemed to think I would be.
With his apology sketched in every line of his handsomely boyish face
at the tail end of his, It’s Not You Breakup Speech.
“I think you’re great, and if things were different…” Atop the table
between us, he rubbed the calloused pad of his thumb across the back of my
hand.
Blinking, I glanced through the window into the dining area. Bettie’s Pour
House was one of the more popular places to eat in town—which had more
to do with the lack of options than the quality of the food—and it was
beginning to fill up. Dennis and I were the only people seated on the patio.
The temperature had dropped overnight, and apparently, no one else wanted
to weather the cold.
So, while everyone inside was likely just eating their meal and spending
time with their friends and family, I felt like I was in a fishbowl—being
watched.
The white receipt from our meal flapped in the breeze.
I glanced down at Dennis’ beagle, Banjo, who tilted his head at me. He
didn’t seem to understand any more than I did.
My hands slipped easily from between Dennis’ fingers and I folded them
in my lap. I leaned forward with my mouth slightly open, trying to decide
exactly how to say what needed to be said.
He waited. His face was trapped somewhere between hope and
apprehension.
“Are we,” I began, then started again, “I think, maybe, we’re on two
different pages.”
“How so?”
“I thought we were casual.”
Wrinkles folded into his forehead.
I drummed a nervous beat on my thighs. “That we weren’t dating
exclusively. That we could have dated other people the whole time.”
His dark eyebrows shot up, and his blue eyes widened. “Oh, really?”
“Yeah.”
The feet of his metal chair scraped against the concrete as he leaned back.
“Huh, I’ve never done that before.”
“I’m sorry.” My cheeks warmed, a blush rising up my neck. “I haven’t
been dating anyone else, but I just…I thought we weren’t serious.”
He picked up his beer, then set it back down.
Gesturing between us, I said, “But we’re good, this is good. You thought
you had to breakup with me, and now you don’t.”
“Okay.”
A sliver of relief seeped through the less comfortable feelings I was
dealing with. “I just thought, we’re both busy, and this is convenient”—I
held my hands out—“not that you’re a convenience, or a hardship for that
matter, it’s just like…”
I’m making a mess of this.
My hands continued in their random movements. “I thought we weren’t…
I just didn’t think that we were like a thing.”
“We see each other a couple of times a week.”
Pointing at his dog attached to the leash draped over his thigh, I said, “I’m
Banjo’s vet.”
