there’s a girl that comes in to work who begins brief conversation that goes beyond small talk. pretty frequently she mentions her ex. the last time i saw her i thought her ex and her were on talking terms again. sometimes i forget things and fill in the blanks of conversations i miss when i multitask (ie: cashing someone out). today she walked in the store and greeted me kindly as usual. she asked how my superbowl went, and i told her i took a nap and watched it from half-time with food. she went out with her friends to lost & found and had a good time. i remembered (wrongly) about how her ex and her were on speaking-terms and asked her how that was going. she paused and told me not to feel bad before mentioning her ex died 5 months ago.
you said what now. . . . . . . .
it wasn’t akward because she’s so sweet, but i felt horrible after she left the store.
i’m never talking to nobody in this damn place again.
