Not As Bad as Ed Getting the Truck
Sometime near the nebulous end of our affair, the Curmudgeon and I were at Reverie Café (his favorite), and I asked him how many first dates he’d had there.
“None,” he responded, “why, how many first dates have you had here?”
Pause.
“Just one. Ours.”

So... as I am not particularly well versed in The Rules, I found myself wondering: is Reverie totally off limits, being “his” spot? For the most part, I’ve left the town/state/country after relationships end (or he has, or is it more accurate to say they end because one of us leaves? Hard to say))))), so I’ve skirted this sort of issue entirely. But in this case I’m still here, and so is he, and because I’ve temporarily set up office in the neighborhood, I’d started thinking it would be nice to take advantage of Reverie’s terrace on sunny days.
My official survey of one produced the following result: “Avoid.” Which seems fair enough; I don’t care enough about that exact terrace to risk anyone’s discomfort, and the pastries at Boulange are so much more exciting. Is this turfing behavior normal though? It just seems so contrived...
