Can't leave well enough alone
I was loading up my suitcase into my car, getting ready to head off to the airport, when I happened to glance up and see a yellow post-it note stuck to the windshield. I pulled it off and had a read:
Hey Neighbour! Haven't seen you since the party ~ at a certain point we should talk so I can do some damage control for the other night!
First off, I should mention that, no, TheNeighbor is not British; again, she just tries too hard. Secondly, what could she possibly say that would change my mind about the other night? Not wanting to start my trip to Las Vegas with a bout of drama, I looked around to make sure she wasn't watching me, threw my luggage and the note in the car and got the heck out of dodge.
Monday night, I happened to return home at the same time TheNeighbor was leaving for a study group. She, of course, stopped me and confronted me about the party. She tried telling me that I had tried to take advantage of her; I told her that I was just following her directions. We continued to talk for a while about other mindless topics, yet somehow she kept steering the conversation back to the party. She was visibly uncomfortable about my opinion of her based on her previous actions. I repeated assured her that it was water under the bridge and that I had moved on. She then vowed to never drink around me again. I told her this was probably the best thing she could do.
The next morning, I received an email from her:
So I have a question that I forgot to ask last night. Was our being neighbourly last week something that is nonrepeatable? Just wondering what it would be like sober.
I haven't responded yet, mainly because I don't know how to nicely say, "You're crazy in the head if you honestly believe that there is a glimmer of hope that we will hook up again. Not to mention that you're truly insane if you think it would happen without copious amounts of alcohol."
