Last night I met Anna after work at Funny Bar. She wanted a quiet place to sit and a martini and I knew both could be accomplished there at 7:00 pm. We tried to recall the last time we had seen each other. There was once we met downtown in Seattle to go shopping at Barneys before it closed and once she came to my college house but we couldn’t remember which one happened last. She said the last time we saw each other I had a crush on my roommate but nothing was happening, we were just friends. And there was once I visited New York and saw her in the L Train Vintage on 1st Ave but both of us were in a rush.
We went through the obligatory list of people from high school we are still in touch with and those we aren’t. We talked about falling outs and people who have changed and people who are married. I told her about running into someone from high school at a party in Clinton Hill and she told me she had just run into someone from her class ten minutes prior.
In high school we were bonded by a shared dream of living in New York and working in fashion and a bluntness that some people found unnerving. It’s been five years, maybe six,
