I shouldn’t be obsessed with trying to compete with them, trying to out-PDA them with Warren, but I can’t help but feel inadequate in my relationship.
We’ve been together for three years, now, and we just don’t feel the need to stick our tongues down each other’s throats all the time.

But something in me wants to crawl onto Warren’s lap right now and show this new couple that I still have it in me to be a free spirit that can stick my tongue down my partner’s throat.

Ever since Lisa got with Jay, I’ve been trying to out-sex them.
Like last night, I got all dressed down to my skimpiest lingerie hoping to reinstate the initial thrill of our relationship.
Only it all went wrong. Only I was lounging on the sofa for two hours, and when he came back he was shattered.

They’re at it again, just across the table. Some of us are trying to eat.
Then, Warren’s hand is on my leg and his lips are whispering, “They’re only green. They might not last. We’ve grown to be beautiful.”
