“Safety first”
We were chatting and I had to go somewhere. He said, “Wear a seat belt!” which is the stupidest thing to say in any conversation. Then he continued, “Or, I don’t know… be safe. I can’t stand the thought of losing you.”
—N.
Postscript: We were best friends who’d made the tragic transition to boyfriend-girlfriend. He realized he liked me as a sister but we’d hook up randomly from time to time. We’re still close friends.
