Chapter 57

“Well, okay. What I was going to say is lots of things don’t feel that good or don’t work the way you want them to. There’s stuff I heard about that’s supposed to be awesome, but when I tried it, it was stupid. It’s just ridiculous sometimes. It can be fun even when it sucks, though, sort of like when you go to a restaurant and nothing is right, but you laugh the whole time.”

Daisy grinned, remembering a few memorable occasions she and Jo had shared. “Yeah, I think I get that.”

“So I’m not saying I felt bad because stuff didn’t feel good. But there was something about this guy where I wound up sort of forgetting to think about whether I wanted to do stuff or not. It was like I stopped existing. And he never made me do anything I saidI didn’t want to do, but after I’d see him, I’d think about what we did and not feel sure about whether I’d wanted to do it. It was like he didn’t really care what I thought, and I knew that, even if he never came out and said it.”
