??What??? Jay asked.
??When I first saw that house, I was surprised you even lived there.??
??Why???
??Because it didn??t look like you at all.??
??Well, it??s me now,?? he said before turning to look at me for a moment. ??And it can be you, too.??
??I don??t know about that,?? I mumbled before turning to look out of the window. I stopped myself from saying anything else because the last thing I wanted was to start arguing with Jay before we even got to his house. I also didn??t want to get into it with him in front of his son. I knew the topic of cohabitation would come up again and I needed to have a measured response ready when it did.
