Oatcakes fill the silence when my friends don't call.
Two bananas when I thought my boyfriend no longer loved me.
Two oranges when there were serious doubts about my PhD application.
I had a friend for coffee and it became increasingly clear she wasn't able to be supportive of my work.
Was it jealousy, or ambivalence, or genuine anxiety for me?
Afterwards I felt sad, nostalgic for the days of uncomplicated friendship.
