Story: Soft Rebound

She always asks about you

Worries if you’re okay

Joe: I’ve always thought she just wants to keep tabs on me to one-up me

But maybe not

Lance: Dude

You know my sister

Joe: Yeah, I do

I forgot that

Head up ass and all that

I finally get we just weren’t right for each other

I guess it took finding someone who is for it to go through my thick skull

Lance: It was made harder by having head up your ass

Lots to buttcheek interference

Joe:

I’m sorry about your having a hard time with Sarah

I promise I am here if you need to talk

And I won’t freak out as I did yesterday

Lance: Good

When you learn to behave, maybe you can come over

See my kids

Joe:

Lance: I talked with Sarah

She’s a Team Kim diehard

But she’s *not* rooting against Team Joe

Joe: That’s an improvement

Okay man

Good to clear the air

I gotta go see about a girl

It’s about 8:00 PM on a Friday when I message Liz. I text her several times, but I get nothing back.
