The only real reason I don't want Mr. A to come with me is because I'm going with a coworker. I only told her that Mr. A and I were in the midst of a D a couple of months ago (or less), and she knows the D was just finalized at the end of July. So I feel totally panicky at the thought of trying to explain to her why Mr. A is at instructional league!
Dammit, I should never have opened my mouth about it to him.
