Without the guilt of an affair and the fear of being caught stifling her, Meredith was playful and funny. She was the Meredith who ate lunch with me naked and snuck pictures of me to hide in her secret file on her phone.

I promised I’d never lie to her, but I would. I couldn’t share everything we’d done together or what we meant to each other. She’d have to unlock those memories for herself. “We were at the same places a few times.” “Please tell. No matter how boring. It’s fascinating to me.” She was wearing a long strapless dress. It was white, and her tanned skin made me want to take it off her. She had a lopsided straw hat on that hid the side of her head that was partially shaved. Her eyes were almost as blue as the sky today. “Let’s see. I saw you at the pool once last summer.” Meredith stared past the people at the table next to us and into the street.
