I was sitting across from someone I’d called a close friend for six years when it happened. I’d just told her, honestly and without the usual fifteen qualifiers, that I didn’t want to host her birthday dinner again this year. The silence stretched out like taffy. She tilted her head, and I could see her running through her mental Rolodex of who I was supposed to be, trying to locate the version of me that always said yes. That version wasn’t there anymore.
