“Hey, are you still seeing Carly?” Fox asked.
Bowie frowned. “No, I’m…” He cleared his throat uncomfortably. “I’m currently in the process of getting a divorce.”
“Oh, from…”
“Yeah,” he nodded. “Edith. She kind of had me by the balls.”
“She was much older,” I pointed out.
“But she was great in the sack,” he grinned. Then his smile fell. “And then she just left me one day. I don’t understand it.”
“Did you make her shawarma?” Fox asked.
“No. Why would I make her shawarma?”
Fox scoffed, rolling his eyes at Bowie. “Everyone knows if you want to keep your woman, you have to introduce them to shawarma. It’s a thing.”
“It’s not a thing,” I retorted.
“It’s totally a thing. Have you made shawarma?”
“No.”
He leaned in toward me. “And you’re single.”
“Huh. Maybe you’re onto something,” Bowie frowned. “Maybe I should make shawarma for her.”
“It’s too late,” Fox sighed. “She’s already moved on. You have to do it immediately. If not, you’ve lost your shot.”
“Fox, that’s not even remotely true.”
“It could be. Shawarma is a very powerful thing.”
“It’s food. No one leaves someone else over food.”
“I don’t know how true that is. If Anna told me I could never have Funyuns again, I think it would tear me apart.”
“But Anna wouldn’t leave you. She’s the other half of you,” I pointed out.
“No, she wouldn’t leave me. She’s like…”
“Your soulmate.”
“No, that’s not it. She’s like…”
“Your other half,” I said.
“No, that’s not either. She’s like…”
“Your shoelace,” Bowie jumped in. I glared at him and he shrugged. “I heard it somewhere.”
“She’s…the light to my dark. The Funyun to the lesser chip. The button on my jeans. The record to my record player. The?—”
“Fox!” I interrupted. “We get the point!”
He snapped his mouth shut, but just as I turned away, he added, “My heart’s desire.”
Sighing, I turned back to Bowie. “Sorry about the divorce.”
