Ha! CVA, I'm not sure what I'm going to wear, but since I don't have anything you mentioned, not that. Smile and be witty---good thinking.
I've been mulling over whether to come clean to this guy about why I haven't been around the hangout, just in case he says, "Hey, I had drinks with Puddle!" and H and possibly COW are sitting there. Now I'm thinking maybe H is the person to tell; I'd hate for him to hear that from someone else.
I just got a timely email from COW, saying we're not a hot gossip item, she hasn't said anything (though a few people know), everyone's asking about me, she'd like to see me and hopes it wouldn't be awkward for me. She's still sad about the whole thing.
I'd just been thinking about her, thinking poor kid! The last thing that girl needs is another bunch of screwed-up friends.
I wrote back, said thanks for the discretion and the reassurances, that I wouldn't mind seeing her, glad H has a friend. Told her I'm thinking about making an appearance.
This feels way too much like high school. Thoughts?
