She adjusted her mask, turning it so it hung off one side of her head. She was glowering at me. “Why didn’t you listen when I told you to fuck off?”
“Because I’m your friend.”?
Two ways I could interpret that question. “Don’t worry about it. Look, the hamburgers will be ready soon…” I trailed off.

An awkward silence reigned. I turned to head downstairs.
“What do you want for this?”
Friendship?
It took us a while to get here, but I think I can finally accept this relationship as a shaky friendship rather than hostility and denial.
