"So, full disclosure," Taylor said slowly. "I had a couples counselling session scheduled. Non-refundable. Booked it, like, a month ago. It was supposed to be-" she stopped, then corrected herself, "-it was for me and my ex. We'd been together for six years. He broke up with me two weeks ago."
August blinked, taken aback. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I mean, it's not. But whatever." Taylor reached for her coffee again. "The worst part is I was still going to show up. Alone. Because I don't know what else to do with myself. And it felt... less pathetic than cancelling."
August opened her mouth. Closed it. Tilted her head. "You know," she said slowly, "if you really want to make it weird, I could come with you. We could sit down in front of this absurdly overbooked, overly qualified therapist and see how long it takes them to realise we've known each other for all of, what, twenty minutes? I mean," August continued, sipping her cortado like this was a perfectly normal suggestion, "if you're going to burn an hour of emotional excavation, might as well turn it into a social experiment."
