“We need to figure out where we’re staying.”
“I already booked it.”
They look at you.
“You did?”
“Yeah. I found a really good place last night.”
“I thought we were going to look together.”
“We’ve been talking about it for a week.”
“I know. I was going to look tonight.”
“Well, you don’t have to now.”
You show them the photos. The room is nice. The reviews are good. It’s close to the station.
“How much was it?”
You tell them.
They’re quiet.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“You don’t like it?”
“It’s fine.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
They look at you.
“I thought we were deciding together.”
You put your phone down.
“Jesus. I was trying to make things easier.”
