You go do that, and I’ll pick the movie.” He gave me one last look like he was silently wondering how he ended up with someone like me before leaving the office. N*****x should be easy, right? Thousands of movies, endless options, all neatly lined up. But when I curled up on the couch with the remote in my hand, I realized it was impossible. Action? Maybe too loud. Comedy? Too light.
