Man & Woman Buck & Doe

How can something so basic be so complicated at the same time?

Man and Woman meet. They both think the other is amazing. Commonalities abound. Intense “like” emerges, nothing like love, but attraction, interest, enjoyment and anxiety waiting for the next time they spoke. They live 1,100 miles from one another. The distance keeps everything (emotionally and psychically) in check. The trip is planned to her city. Then everything became real. She shied away. She started to mention her ex-boyfriend and tried to justify their relationship and it’s finality.

Did she begin to pick Man apart? Was she looking for and finding faults?

He could feel the distance growing. He could also see her jealousy grow when her best friend was kind to him and flirted with him. She avoided the situation. Had he become a tool to make her ex-boyfriend jealous? Would he confront her about it?

Was it even worth it?
