章節 18: Chapter 18: Bad Dates

“How did you wind up with Jane?”

“Almost the same way you wound up with Henry, except I grew up with her. So, I’ve had almost a lifetime of her and her attitude even from an early age.”

“How so?”

“Our parents were college friends. They were always pushing us together. I guess they hoped that we would wind up together.”

“Well aren’t you...or why didn’t you?”

“We’re not. She is too...too self-centered for me in the long-term, but as a friend to hang out with, it takes my mind off of my legal studies to see the kind of life I could’ve wound up living. Kind of like a cheat day on a very restricted diet. She indulges in entertaining her fantasy of us becoming a power couple, and I get her off of my back from nagging me to go out together.”

“To quote a friend, ‘You can do better.’ Much better”

Arthur laughed.

“I like small town life and she prefers London; that’s another point of discord. More like a deal-breaker. I love Clovelly.”
