Leah seemed to be everyone’s mutual friend and had a huge personality that was only upstaged by her short, curly mop of hair she could only tame by tying back with a scarf. She was known to enjoy her generational wealth by throwing lavish dinner parties off campus in a quaint old home nestled in the quiet cobblestone district.
After getting my number through a friend and us instantly hitting it off, Leah began to invited me to her coveted dinner parties. This particular night, we planned on getting dressed and pre-gaming a bit before the guests arrived. After several weeks of what I interpreted as flirting, I was a tiny bit disappointed when she said she was going to set me up tonight with a handsome friend of hers, Cody. Our friendship still felt intense and important to me, and I secretly hoped that getting involved with her friend would buy me more time in her orbit.
