It's a small world after all...

Instead of using my normal pseudonyms of Boy-A and Girl-A, I have been inspired by newest favorite DVD, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

John and Jane had gone on a couple of dates, but John wasn't so good about returning her phone calls in a timely manner. Jane found out that he had been sick recently, specifically a high fever. One day, Jane offered to drop off some soup and fluids. Jane had been an angel and called him several times to see how he was doing. The next day, John was in Urgent Care again. The doctor suspected he had mono, so they gave him medicine and then sent him home. Jane had called John a couple of times, but he wasn't feeling well to be going out. Jane wasn't so sure about the John fella.

Anyhow, Jane went out to a local party with her friends. Jane wasn't feeling so well, so Jane and her friend decided to leave the party. While walking down the staircase to the exit, Jane ran into John, to her shock. Jane said, "sMhyla, it's John. John, remember sMhyla?" I looked at John and then at Jane. I had met John only one time in the past, over one month ago. I said, "This is mono-John?" I looked at each of them and then said, "This is sick-John?" The only thing John could muster up was, "Well, they don't know if it's mono." I offered that I had asked Jane, "Where's John?", so Jane told me that he was sick.

Apparently, John was too sick to call Jane back that day, but not too sick to attend a party. Like I've said before, "It's a small world after all in the South Bay." Needless to say, John was not comfortable during this situation. Silence. I reminded Jane, "Shouldn't we be going?" I did most of the talking during this crossing, but not many words words were exchanged at that point. Not even sure if we had even said good bye. The rest was a blur. Don't get me wrong, Jane and I were 100% sober, so things were quite clear at that moment. All I know is that made the decision easy for Jane, time to move on.
