"If you want to be in an evolving relationship..."

Joan found this slip of paper tucked away inside a book she was looking through earlier this year.

It's a little depressing.

But depressing notes deserve to be shared, too. Right?

The writing was fairly light and in pencil, so here's what was written:
Tonight I needed a friend
Sometimes I don't
suggest thing bc
I don't like being
disappointed constantly
— Cafe Normandie
— Frederick
— Movies
— Spend some time w y
before the week starts

If you want to be in an evolving
relationship
less self-involved
negotiation
give and take
I'm guessing that Cafe Normandie and Frederick are both Maryland references. There's a Cafe Normandie in Annapolis. And Annapolis and Frederick are less than 90 minutes apart.

Perhaps those were two possibilities — along with the movies — for this anonymous note-writer to take his or her significant other.

I hope he or she found that friend.
