The Ex-Change
I mean, I’m used to my own organized chaos, but this—this feels like I’m trespassing in a space I have no business being in.
I throw myself onto the couch—her couch, which, for the record, has zero crumbs on it. It’s like the couch doesn’t even know what a crumb is.
I run a hand over the cushions, unsure whether I’m impressed or just slightly intimidated.
There’s a stack of books on the coffee table, which is, of course, alphabetized. I grab the one on top and flip through it. It’s one of those self-help books, the kind people like to pretend they don’t need but secretly read every morning before their third cup of coffee.
