Wordle #1063 – TUTOR
“So you kept in touch?”
“Well, it was impossible to avoid each other, what with Roy marrying Bree…” I suppose I could have avoided them both, but honestly, I didn’t want to.
“And when was the last time you saw Roy?”
I’m a little surprised that I have to think about it. For the first year following our divorce, whenever I would see him, I would replay our interaction over and over in my head. Analyzing every word and every movement, searching for the smallest sign that he still cared about me in the same way.
Even when he was dating Bree, I would hold onto any time we bumped into each other. Tucking away a mental image of what he had been wearing that day, how he styled his hair.
I guess I just hadn’t thought about him much these past few months, before I knew we’d never cross paths again…
“The last time I saw him? It must have been at Bree’s birthday party in July. I don’t remember the exact date.”
But I do remember now, seeing Roy.
I had been stuck in an interminable debate between Bree’s French tutor and her life coach, something about dream interpretation. I would nod or hmm politely, but I’m sure my eyes were more glazed over than a Krispy Kreme.
Roy spotted me, and saved me, feigning that he needed my help with the charcuterie boards.
