A Promise He Never Kept
When my parents call to tell me they are taking me to my childhood friend, Oliver Holland's house to meet his blind date, he is still asleep beside me.
I think they are joking and whisper, "Oliver, they said they've found you someone to date."
He gives a lazy hum and pulls me into his arms. "Gerry, help me pick out something to wear later. And fix my hair, too."
When I freeze, Oliver opens his eyes and lets out a short, mocking laugh. "What's wrong with you? We're just sleeping together. You don't actually think I'm going to marry you, do you?"
