Denise and a man are coming to dinner. The man is a friend of Paul’s. (they are not coming together). I have prepared meals the last two night. The man is bringing a steak. I am figuring out what to make for Denise and I. I defrost some fish. I have no side dishes prepared or things to drink. I am angry at Paul because he doesn’t do anything to help prepare or has helped plan for the evening. I tell him how I feel.
Later, the man is at our place. Denise is not there. He has his steak. I ask him if he wants something to drink. I am doing the “entertaining”. I talk to him about being introduced to a friend of mine I think he would like. (my friend, Joyce?). I think they would have something in common. However, I realize it is too late because Joyce is no longer around.
