My boyfriend Brian and I hadn’t seen Matt in a while, so we invited him over one night to hang out and have drinks. We were half way through the night and sitting in the living room catching up. I sat on the couch next to him and Brian laid back in the recliner. Matt discussed how he was having some difficulties with his job lately and how he was able to come out the other side of it, and we talked about a couple things that we did here and there throughout the month.
“I’m glad we were able to connect”, he says. “Hadn’t heard from you all in a while.”
“We honestly just haven’t made the time to do something outside of our routine,” Brian offers, “But we definitely didn’t forget about you.”
He gives a smile and sips the rest of his drink. My boyfriend excuses himself to go to the bathroom and I give a smile of my own.
