He would get wistful sometimes and say, I don't know how you're like how you are. You're just so cool and you're such a good writer and nothing seems to bother you. And of course, inside, I am nothing but roiling turmoil.
It felt good to be seen and it felt good to be perceived as attractive. And it felt good to have this attractive man perceive me as attractive. And before I knew it, I was crushing pretty hard on him.
And then... It was one of those nights that was not uncommon for the four of us where we had shut the bars down. We went back to his house. You know, he'd kind of been doing that thing where he was touching my elbow with his elbow and making eye contact a little too long. He's making some inside joke references about things that we've been talking about during Scrabble.
And it's just incredible tension that is mounting. Then at a certain point, probably like four in the morning, George and Trish. went back to their apartment and I was going to call a cab.
We went from being best friends to one night make out to basically living with one another. There were so many mornings when I would wake up and I would look over and I'd see that it was Patrick in bed. And I would think, I am so lucky. I get to do this for the rest of my life. I actually like the person that I'm waking up with.
It was nonstop double dating with Trish and George.
Trish and Patrick weren't just drinkers. They were late-night drinkers. And so that's what I became, too, for a little while. There were a lot of moments where I would reflect on what I was doing and how I was behaving, and I'd be pretty scared.
She could be pretty aggressive. She could be rude. She could piss people off in bars.
He had a bit of a temper too, so their tempers could kind of go up against one another.
The four of us were out. Trish and I were at the bar. George and Patrick were sitting where we could see them, but it was pretty packed. And she was saying, I knew he'd come around. I knew he'd realize he loved you. I knew it. I just knew it.
She wanted to just remind me that he hadn't crushed on me as hard as I'd crushed on him at the beginning. And she always loved to point out that she had been friends with him first.
And this drove me a
We needed a new place to live, and we were broke. I was waiting tables. He was gigging and teaching music, and we were so desperate for money. I was desperate for money. So when my mom offered this free place to live... It was not lost on me that this farmhouse came with a happy coincidence of having some emotional distance from Trish and what felt to me like her constant oversight.
So we had this kind of break and I thought it was magical, just magical.
He started wanting to focus on writing. And some of the stories were good. And he got a lot of publications all on his own.
It felt like every time I got a story accepted, his first response would be, you should tell the editor about this story I just wrote. And every time I would email the editor and say, hey, there's this great story that I just read by a friend of mine, right? And he got a few publications that way.
Every day I'd get up, I'd write. And at 3.30, I would drive into Charlottesville and start my shift at the steakhouse. And he'd stay home. And that's where he started drinking during the day.
And she said, I saw Patrick this morning. He was wearing a robe. And I said, well, it was morning, Mom. And she said, yes. And I saw him again just now. And he's still wearing a robe. And it's 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It was a moment when I realized she could see what I could see. That troubled me.
When I got that book deal, it was all of those dreams, everything I'd wanted for so long.
So we knew that we were going to be leaving Charlottesville. And at about the same time, George and Trish decided that they were going to move to New York.
