Set your timer: For the next 15 minutes capture a conversation you overhear, and give it life.
"How could you possibly ask me to do that for you?"
Sadie looked uncomfortable for a moment, and then it passed. "You just have to. You are the reason I am in this mess to begin with."
"Me? How am I the one to blame? I was under the asumption we all make our own choices here."
"Oh, don't throw that at me. You know very well, you encouraged the flirting to begin with. He was your friend and now we're in over our heads. We just need a weekend away to figure out what this is."
"A weekend? Are you kidding? Sade, you're married. You don't go away for the weekend with someone else."
"I know what I am, trust me." Her voice was thick with doubt, "Jen, I just don't know anymore. I'm just so confused."
I couldn't believe my best friend, someone who never broke a rule, was asking me to cover for her so she could go away for a weekend with Danny. "Sadie, he's gonna break your heart. He's done it a thousand times, and you are no different."
"Jen, I just want this weekend away. Can you do this for me?"
I sighed and shook my head. "I don't know, Sadie, it just doesn't feel right."
She looked at me with those piercing blue eyes, and grabbed her cell phone on the table. "Wow, and I thought we were friends..."
And she walked out the door.
