Blank Spaces

Blank Spaces (2016) Cass Lennox (Toronto Connections)

Flirting? Good God. Calorie-conscious and delusional. Vaughn knew how to pick them. He set the spoon down. “I’m not flirting with you.”

“Really.” Jonah’s voice dripped with disbelief. “You don’t call putting food in my mouth flirting?”

“No, actually. I share food with my eating companions regularly.” Vaughn mentally replayed their conversation. “What part of the last twenty minutes was flirtatious?”

Jonah’s jaw dropped. “Are you kidding me? Just how oblivious are you?”

Unwilling to listen anymore, Vaughn hung up. He stared at his cell. It was ridiculous, but he half expected it to apologize to him for letting such a terrible conversation happen.

Jeez, his phone looked as though he had thrown it on the floor. He could picture it on a plinth, tape around it to mark viewing distance, and a placard: Modern Anger.
