Kissing Promise Dumped Her

More From Miranda July

I could hear hopefulness in her voice, but also doubt. she was waiting for me to admit the obvious: i'd forgotten. i was toast. i was boyfriend roadkill. just because i forgot, you shouldn't take that as a sign i didn't care about annabeth. seriously, the last month with her had been awesome. i was the luckiest demigod ever. but a special dinner... when had i mentioned that? maybe i'd said it after annabeth kissed me, which had sort of sent me into a fog. maybe a greek gos had disguised himself as me as and made her that promise as a prank. or maybe i was just a rotten boyfriend.
Fog Voice Waiting
It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. i wanted to be the last one she loved. and i knew i wasn’t. i knew it, and i hated her for it. i hated her for not caring about me. i hated her for leaving that night, and i hated myself , too, not only because i let her go but because if i had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. she would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and i would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.

Annabel looked down. her hands were shaking. she couldn't do this. not yet. she couldn't face the man she'd kissed who happened to be the heir to the man she didn't want to kiss but whos she probably was going to marry. oh yes, and she could not forget that if she did marry the man she didn't want to kiss, she was likely to provide him with a new heir, thus cutting off the man she did want to kiss.
