Terri gazed sadly at her friend Chrystel, sitting across the table.

‘I was at his place and he put on some music. As I tried to remember the songs’ title, he started singing. He broke up with me singing the lyrics to ‘All the girls I’ve loved before’! Basically, he told me I could travel out his door. It was so humiliating!’

Chrystel nodded empathetically.

‘I just don’t understand. We got along well….’

‘Yes, you did. But maybe you guys were only intended to be friends?’

‘Nooo, the chemistry was real! He did things to me….’ Terri blushed. Chrystel felt her stomach harden.

Tears welled up again in Terri’s eyes. ‘I thought that we were open and comfortable with each other. He says that we’re too comfortable with each other. He is not feeling a thrill anymore.’ Sobbing, she continued: ‘How is feeling comfortable and safe together, a bad thing?!’

Chrystel sighed. ‘I don’t now Terri. It just sounds like his mind is made up.’

Terri faced her friend. ‘Do you think there’s someone else?’

Taken aback, Chrystel averted her eyes and took a sip of coffee. ‘No,’ she said decisively, ‘He’s not that kind of guy.’

‘I don’t know what’s worse,’ Terri whispered, ‘To be replaced or to hear that you are not enough…’ She shook her head. ‘I am going to wash my face’.

As soon as Terri left, Chrystel grabbed her phone to text.

‘Am I too going to be just another girl you’ve loved before?’
