The only thing I haven’ttold Lee is how I feel about him. He’s straight and there’s no chance for a happily ever after for us, so it would be unfair to tell him, to put him in that situation.
I almost didtell him once. One late night three years ago, after about ten thousand beers, when we were both so drunk we literally fell off the couch, Lee asked why I never had boyfriends. He was emotional and told me that someone as great as me deserved the best guy in the world, and he’d be more than happy to be my wingman and go out and help me look for this person, whoever he may be.
