Her: Poubie!!??
Me: HI BEE!
(Awkward silence to acknowledge time that has lapsed since we last spoke)
Her: Look...I'm sorry about how your visit to NYC ended. It was a complete disaster. It's just that I guess Yo and I are still adjusting to life in the big city and trying to figure things out between us...past aside.
Me: I understand, but I'm worried about you. I don't think cutting people out of your lives for what seem to me to be irrational reasons is healthy.
Her: (with a slight upset tone) That's not what we are doing.
Me: Then what are you doing?
(Another awkward silence)
Her: I just wanted to call to say that I'm sorry and that you are important to me. I hope you will give me some more time to process and come to terms.
Me: Like I said in my email, I am your friend through thick and thin, whether you are in this friendship or not is your call. I've been there done that, cutting people out of my life in favor of a relationship. It didn't make me happy, but I hope that you are happy.
Her: I am. (she says this so succinctly that I question the reality of it)
Me: Good?...that's what matters to me...and I'm sorry too.
Her: Goodbye, Poub.
Me: Goodbye, Bee.
