She will end the relationship after the Women’s March (an event she hadn’t originally planned to attend “because it seemed there would be a lot of pink, which in a feminist context signaled to me a lack of rigor”). “I was overtaken by a sense of purpose unlike anything I could recreate in a workplace environment.” She’d been planning to break up with Felix anyway, but now she could do it in glorious fashion: hijacking the account, maybe, or abruptly throwing him out, or slyly messing with him, all while embodying “the calm dignity befitting the partner of a person who needs help.” That she was sure Felix didn’t actually believe in the conspiracy theories-that she was “pretty sure he was Jewish”-didn’t change the fact that this is “my chance to be purely and entirely the good one.”įascinated by her discovery but feeling no particular urgency, the narrator decides to make Felix pancakes. The narrator is shocked, and also thrilled. ![]()
