Honesty

They sat face to face on the couch, staring at each other.

“If this relationship is going to work, we need to be honest with each other, Margo.”
“I know, Jack.”
“Well I guess I will start off by saying that…I smoke.”
“Ohkay.”
“Ohkay, you aren’t mad?”
“No.”
“Oh, alright.”
“I smoke too, it’s not that big of a deal.”
“I didn’t know you smoked.”
“I’m not allergic to dogs either. I just hate them.”
“You…what? You made me give up Twinkie because you don’t like dogs?”
“Yeah.”
“But that was my fucking dog!”
“Yeah I know.”
“Margo, I can’t believe it.”
“And I didn’t really lose my virginity to Mike.”
“…what?”
“I didn’t lose my virginity to Mike.”
“What the fuck Margo! Who did you lose it too?”
“I lost it to Sarah.”
“Sarah? The girl?”
“Yes.”
“You lost it to a girl! But you are a girl!”
“Yeah…”
“When! When did you..”
“Last year…during Easter. I remember because I was wearing that dress you bought me.”
“The cornflower blue one?”
“Yeah…”

They sat face to face on the couch, staring at the cornflower blue dress.
