“Of course it did.”
“It’s a fairytale, Ash.”
She laughed. “Yeah, but it came true. You saw it.”
I shook my head.
“Why are you shaking your head at me?”
“Because I didn’t see anything. You never videochatted me.”
“Yes I did.”
“No.” I pulled out my phone to show her. I had no missed calls for the last three hours.
“Maybe it’s a time zone thing? Go back further…”
“That’s not how time zones work.” I laughed again.
“IswearI called you, Tanner.” She pulled out her phone to check. She swiped it so violently that her phone shot right out of her hand and into the Seine.
I laughed.
“No!” she screamed. “Fuck!”
I couldn’t help it. I started laughing harder.
“It’s not funny!”
“It’s hilarious. You threw your phone into the Seine so you don’t have to admit you made it all up.”
“I didn’t make it up! And my phone flew into the river because the screen was all sticky while I was swiping. It was probablyfrom the cum on my hands when I grabbed it off the nightstand. Damn me and my sticky jizz fingers!”
“Baby.”
“Don’t baby me! God! No! Now I’ll never know who I videochatted. What if it was Matt?! Oh my God, it’s Incident #8. I Incident #8ed all over Matt!”
Incident #8ed?What was she talking about? “Do you even have his number?”
“No! We need to call a French riverman to come fetch my phone! Or a mime. Anyone! Please help!”
“Ash, relax. I’m sure it’s not a big deal.”
“Not a big deal?! What if I called my dad?!”
I laughed. “Well that would be truly horrifying. But luckily none of it happened. You really do have quite an imagination.”
“How do you not believe me? Didn’t you see my sticky jizz phone?”
“No. Because you just threw it into the river to hide the lack of evidence. And because you literally just stole Chastity’s wild Hansel and Gretel story. Did you even go on the date at all? Or did you just bounce the second you left the hotel?”
“I told you everything that happened! How can you…” her voice trailed off and she started fanning herself.
I was pretty sure she was hyperventilating.She’s really milking this. Okay. I guess I’ll play along for a minute...
“It’s going to be okay,” I said. “I mean…the call probably just didn’t go through since you were in Germany. Or maybe you didn’t have the country code for me in your phone, so you called some random German dude instead. It’s like the classic thought experiment: If a girl blows a big beefy wizard in the forest and only some random German dude sees the video of it, did it even really happen?”
Ash finally laughed too.
