When I arrived at Riley Lawson's place, she opened the door with sleepy, half-awake eyes. I stood in the doorway and said, "We're breaking up." She froze for a moment and replied, "Baby, what did I do wrong this time?" "You didn't answer my call," I said. She reached for my hand and tried to shake it the way she always did when she wanted to act cute. Then she said, "Come on, you know me. I stayed up late gaming with my friends last night. I slept in and didn't hear it. As an apology, let me get dressed, and we'll go to your favorite restaurant, okay?" Seven years together, and she still thought I was joking. I pulled my hand away and said coldly, "No need. I'm leaving." She had never taken me seriously. If that was how it was, then I didn't want her anymore.
