You’re charismatic.
Charming.
I don’t want to disappoint you.
So I say yes before thinking.

But I drag my feet.
I’ve been really busy.
And sick.
And then really busy again.
You see, I have good reasons.

I don’t want to go through with it.
If you were listening to my thoughts, you would know.
If you were paying attention, you would figure it out.
But you’re not.
Just don’t make me say the word.
No.
I don’t want to disappoint you.
