She suggested we fly together for the first time, and also do something I had no interest in doing in a place I wanted to be but not with her. We'd already traveled together by train, but plane? Too intimate, too confining, too serious for me. I said we couldn't, I wouldn't, on her couch. She asked that we go somewhere else together right then. I complied and we sat sadly at a bar.
I can't recall if it had ripple effects in our mutual friend group. We continued to tangle. I'm glad I refused to fly.
