effacing grin. The dimples popped. ‘See, when Amy likes
you, when she’s interested in you, her attention is so warm
and reassuring and entirely enveloping. Like a warm bath.’
I raised my eyebrows.
‘Bear with me,’ he said. ‘You feel good about yourself.
Completely good, for maybe the first time. And then she
sees your flaws, she realizes you’re just another regular
person she has to deal with – you are in actuality Able
Andy, and in real life, Able Andy would never make it with
Amazing Amy. So her interest fades, and you stop feeling
good, you can feel that old coldness again, like you’re
naked on the bathroom floor, and all you want is to get back
in the bath.’
I knew that feeling – I’d been on the bathroom floor for
about three years – and I felt a rush of disgust for sharing
this emotion with this other man.
‘I’m sure you know what I mean,’ Desi said, and smiled
winkily at me.
