Marta: How did the date go?
Jessica: Good! It was fun- I think I like him.
Marta: Oh good! When are you seeing him again?
Jessica: Oh. Well. I mean, I’m not like 100% that I’ll be hearing from him…
Marta: What?! Why?
Jessica: Well… in one of my bouts of nervousness and self sabotage, with which you’re by now familiar, I may have been less than discerning in my selection of conversation topics…
Marta: Jessica… what did you do?
Jessica: What? Nothing! It’s just that in the moment, it seemed funny to talk about my brother’s racist comments and my feelings concerning the lack of women occupying significant roles in the Bible.
Marta: Ok, just tell me that you didn’t do the rant that climaxes when you pound your fist on the table and say “Fuck Ester!”
Jessica: [silence]
Marta: Jessica!
