Light the Lamp
“But he could. And he had on numerous occasions in the brief time we’d known each other. I was certain he would continue to do so.
When he tried to buy me a car, there hadn’t been a doubt in my mind that it was time for me to leave, to cut off this relationship—whatever it was growing to be—and move on with my life. Buying me clothes had been bad enough, but a car? There was no way I could turn that into something acceptable in my mind. I wasn’t his wife. I wasn’t his fiancée. I wasn’t even his ...girlfriend. Even if I were any of those things, I still needed to be able to give to him as much as he gave to me in the relationship. It didn’t need to be the same on a monetary scale, but it needed to be at least close to equal in some measure. A few smiles here and there couldn’t exactly stack up against a car.
But I wasn’t any of those things to him; I was just his friend. There wasn’t anything more to our relationship than that. I could allow him to think it was bus-pass-worthy, even if I wasn’t completely comfortable with that thought.MoreLess
