I wasn’t sure if Ethan would be waiting inside. I thought back to our last meeting and couldn’t help feeling that our friendship was teetering on a precipice. Would it survive? Should it?“Well, look what the cat dragged in?”“Sorry, Ethan. I was running late.” I fell into the chair opposite him.“Geez Louise! You look beat.”I nodded slowly.“What the hell happened to you? Did someone slip you some Special K or something?”I laughed mirthlessly. “No, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends. Between teaching and Sarah, I’m exhausted.”“Okay, I’m following the teaching part. How does Sarah fit in?”“Ever since New York City she has been a fuck machine. I mean, she wants sex all night, and then again before work. Man, I’m beat.”“You mean ever since you gave her the ring?” he teased.“Yeah. And she’s much more assertive about it. Passionate even. It’s pretty hot, but I am tired. I could probably curl up on the floor right here and go to sleep.”
