Eventually, Coleen calls. We have coffee. Coleen asks, “Why haven’t you called?”I’m inadequate at breaking up too. I say, “I’ve been really busy.”“Will you call later?”“Not sure.”Our relationship won’t end in fireworks. Instead, it’ll end in a whimper. I see myself as she does, a bad boyfriend. Coleen is frustrated, exasperated that I’ve kept her at a distance. We sip coffee. The world passes. I’m convinced that if I continue trying, one day I’ll succeed.
