Hannah’s profile picture fills the screen.

“Does she?”

“Maybe.”

“Those glasses change her whole face.”

“She isn’t wearing glasses.”

“I know.”

He clicks to the team photo.

“This could be Sandy without the frames and sweater.”

“Or Hannah looks like Sandy.”

“That sentence is useless.”

“I met Hannah tonight.”

“At the bar?”

“Parking lot.”

“While Krista was ending your arrangement?”

“She didn’t end anything.”

“She left you there.”

“I didn’t want to go with her.”

“Mutual abandonment. Very mature.”

I toss the empty bottle into the recycling bin.

Eli studies me.

“You flirted with Hannah.”

“I talked to her.”

“You searched her before you got home.”

“She looked familiar.”

“Because she’s Sandy.”

“She said she didn’t have a sister or cousin.”

I stop.

Eli’s smile spreads. “You said she talks like Bookworm.”

“Plenty of women insult me.”

“Not with that level of commitment.”
