“Are you home yet?” Neil asked me as soon as I picked up the phone.

“Just got home. What’s up?” I asked back, a little confused, but I knew deep down that Neil just wanted to see me.

Even though I had been trying to stay rational, I had been stuck in a rut, struggling now and then. Neil and I were getting closer, and there was nothing hidden between us.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, “Forget it. It’s too late. I’m going to take a bath and go to bed.”

Neil paused, “Come see me first, then you can take your bath. Anything you want to talk about?”

Actually, there was something I wanted to tell him about what happened tonight; I wanted to hear Neil’s opinion.
