Hoss Anger

I’m trying not to let Hoss piss me off. I already know for a fact that I get so worked up when I hear her voice that my blood pressure jumps up. I checked it after getting off the phone with her today. It was 142/97, compared to my usual 115-ish/70-ish. She wants to get together with me tonight so we can have an “adult to adult” conversation while her kids aren’t around. But she refuses to tell me what it’s about, so I don’t know what that means, but I’m sure I won’t like it. I already asked her if she just wanted to hang out or if she needed something or what, and she just repeated that “we need to talk.” I think I’m gonna break down and go ahead and get it over with. I’ve been practicing my responses to several possible topics of conversation, and I’ve prepared my stall answer in case she asks me to do something I don’t want to do. I’ve got until 7:30 pm to decide.
