{Whatever happened to them? Used to be thick as thieves. Tightest pair I’d ever seen.

You didn’t hear? She got married.

Not to him?

Nope. Some guy she met online.

Is he gay?

Not sure. Heard they had a falling out over it. He wasn’t even invited to the wedding.

Really? That’s insane. They were friends for so long.

Right? Must have broken his heart.

Maybe he broke her’s.

I guess we’ll never know.}

You ever notice that when a friend of yours enters a relationship, they end up never talking to you? Isn’t that interesting? There’s a weird isolation that comes with being in a relationship, especially early on. It makes sense. When discovering the breadth of a relationship, you don’t really have much time for anything else. When all you want to do is take in that person, you want to know them, intimately. But it seems to only create paths to possession. Monogamy in a lot of eras almost seems to have this air of owning the time of the other person. Especially for women.

Head empty. No thoughts.
