Finding my legs, I went back in and headed for the kitchen. I wanted to smash Evan with a scathing reply, but I hit the end call button instead. He’d pushed a button I didn’t know I had. You don’t know how difficult graduation night was for me.” We could have slept together, and then I could have dumped you, but I didn’t do that. It’s hard enough in life to make it, and carrying a whole family would have sunk us. You dumped me because you didn’t believe I was going anywhere.” “You didn’t dump me because I wouldn’t sleep with you.
People like that? Did he mean poor? “My family hasn’t changed.” My bewilderment at this news kept me from becoming angry. All the times we broke up, it was in my mind. “It didn’t matter so much in high school. I talked to my parents about it and they said you’d turn out like your people.” Of course, I’d planned on staying longer than I did, but not forever. I wouldn’t have stayed one day longer than planned. “When have I ever said I’d stay at the Fry Hut forever?” The thought alone gave me a chill.
What was he talking about? I wished he was here in person so I could read his brown eyes and see his expression. I wanted to take the phone away and stare at it. I thought you’d stay at the Fry Hut, make Head Chef, lose your dreams.” “People plan for college, but life gets in the way. This is a summer job and a fluke landed me on that show.” I was headed to college and going places.” “Wrong to break up with me as soon as we graduated?” Some of my indignation came out in my voice as I found my backbone. “I miss you, Marissa, and I, well, I was wrong.”
