“They didn’t call. One night, a few days after the phone hadn’t once rung for me, Mom and Dad asked me about it as the three of us watched television after dinner.“It’s nothing,” I said.“Girl stuff, right?” Mom said, and told me about a fight she’d had back in high school with her best friend until David yelled that he needed help with his homework.Dad said, “You know, as your mother’s boyfriend at the time, I got to hear all about it, so if you ever want a guy’s opinion or anything, I’m here.”“...Thanks, but I’m fine,” I said and watched him smile at me.Smile, smile, smile, all anyone ever did.Mom came back, rubbing her head and saying she didn’t remember history being so hard when she was David’s age, and every time I looked at them, they were watching me.
