A close friend’s daughter was getting married in the pandemic summer of 2021.
“We can’t invite friends to the wedding,” in order to keep it small and safe, my pal told me.
But she did invite friends, I learned from a Facebook post.
And when I tried to discuss the widening rift, she called a “pause” in our relations by text and stopped reaching out for a year.
But after a time I asked myself if I really knew what had happened and what she had meant by excluding me.
