"When did you breakup?"

"A few months ago." Right before I went to rehab. He's still in love with old Iris. He still wants her back. He texts every so often. Sometimes, I give into my loneliness and text him back.

I miss him. He wasn't a great boyfriend. He certainly wasn't a good influence.

But he…

He was fun. For that Iris.

"Who did the dumping?" Walker sets his drink down. He leans close, intrigued.

"Hard to say exactly."

"Oh?" He raises a brow.

"You really don't date."

"I told you."

"You're asking all the wrong questions."

"You mean girls don't get wet talking about their exes?"

"Not usually."

"Shit. I better make a note." He pulls a marker from his pocket, uncaps it, and scribbles on his arm. Don't ask babes about their exes.

"Or their moms."

He adds or their moms. "I appreciate the tips."

"Uh-huh."

He caps the marker. His eyes find mine. They're bright. Joyful. "Really."

He's a fun guy.

More fun than Ross.

Certainly better in bed.

Certainly more interesting.

"Was he your mistake?" He takes another sip.

I follow suit. I'm already halfway done with this coffee. I can order more. The price is a crime, but I have plenty saved, and I have my stipend, and my parents are more than willing to offer money anytime I need it. Even after everything.

"Is that a no?"

"I don't know. That's a hard question. The person I was then was happy with him."

"And who was she?"

"Someone else."

"When did you breakup?"

"On Christmas."
