Did I wait until Michael left before I stepped out the shower like a coward?Possibly.
But I'd rather be a coward than deal with the awkward morning after goodbye. Our arrangement was supposed to eliminate that awkwardness by setting clear boundaries and expectations, but of course, the weather had to fuck it all up on our first night.
If I ever made it heaven, I was going to have a long, hard talk with God about timing.
