This line just threw me for a loop. Bear with me.
Known him forever. Like 25 years. He was in town. We went out. It was a great night. He called me baby. Knew my drink (“she’s a bourbon girl”). Gave me spontaneous deep hugs. Drove me home to the opposite side of town. Caught him watching me and smiling while the band played and I sang and danced.
The next day I was like “need more”. So I text. A simple “thinking xxx restaurant. Interested?”
He said he couldn’t. Was in town to see his dad who wasn’t feeling so hot and was spending time with him. Understandable. I said “Figured. Enjoy your time with him”
He leaves town the next day. I get a text saying thanks for the invite yesterday, sorry I declined, good luck with the new job. And ended with “let’s stay tight”
And so it goes. I guess. Wut? Please to explain.
I mean. I can ask him. We’re friends. But it’s more fun to ask y’all….
