You still smell like sweat and spearmint. You walk out half-dressed and your kid just looks at you like “get dressed?” while you zip up your pants and avoid eye contact. All of your friends walk into the you-getting-dressed scene and seem more concerned about your coital status than the stranger who has broken into your house. They stare from you to the dude you just bedded to his kid to you. Despite the trench coat wearing intruder holding your painting in his hands. Later, you have to awkwardly say to your kid, “I was gonna tell you about me and Michonne, but it just happened. It just happened. Last night.” I was cringing like please don’t ramble your way into listing positions. Can you for once try to establish and maintain healthy boundaries?
