Moments after . . .

. . . I dropped her off at her apartment, unsure if I'd ever see her again, I called the ex.

I tell her what happened over the drive back to Chicago. About how it wasn't going to work between myself and the girl I'd made mention of in previous conversation. I tested out the quip about my losing her to Greg, God and possibly Mr. T. She didn't really get the Rocky III reference.

"That joke would only work if Rocky fought Greg and God in part one and two."

Instead she suggested that in round three, I'd lose out to a giant squid.

Well, Cait, the cards seem to be lining up for that one.
