For my novel Get Out Of The Way
I was watching Die Hard, again, when my cell phone rang. I considered not answering, because people were not as important as Bruce Willis goddamn it, but when I checked the caller I.D., I immediately hit pause and answered the phone
"Hey Megan."
"Lissa. What are you doing?" The soft voice on the other end answered
"Watching Die Hard."
"I see." she said, and I swear to god I could hear her grin "Well, are you willing to drag yourself away for a while to come hang out?"
"Could you come here and watch Die Hard with me?"
"No." I sighed
"Where do you want to go?"
"Maybe the cafe?"
"Ugh. Nutmeg, there are always so many fucking people there."
"I know, but I don't want to stay in. Can we please go to the cafe?" I thought about it for a second
"Hey, I got an idea. Let's visit Stevie."
"She lives in Dredgemark. Three hours car ride from here. Neither of us can drive. And I hate her."
"Aw come on, you can't hate Stevie. She's a glam rock vampire! That's totally badass."
"I feel like you're ignoring the meat of my argument, sweetheart." I flopped backwards onto my bed
"Megan. I don't want to hang out near people. You refuse to compromise. I think you know what this means."
"Divorce?" I burst out laughing
"Well I was thinking we could grab some coffee and chill out in the park."
"I thought I refused to compromise."
"I don't fucking know, I'll see you in ten minutes."
"See you then."
