Thank you for your help! ^_^
I sat down across from him and said, “I wonder if it’s going to rain.”
“Naah, it’s clearing up, don’t you think? Funny, isn’t it, we haven’t seen each other in all this time and we talk about the weather.” His smiling face put me at ease.
It’s so great, I thought, having tea in the afternoon with someone you really feel at home with. I knew how wildly he tosses in his sleep, how much milk and sugar he takes in his coffee. I knew his face in front of the mirror, insanely serious, as he tries to tame his mop of unruly hair with the hair dryer. Then I thought, if we were still together I would be worrying about how I’ve just chipped the nail polish on my right hand scrubbing the refrigerator.
In the middle of gossipy chitchat, as if suddenly remembering something, he changed the subject. “I hear you’re living with that Tanabe guy.”
That startled me.
