A Disappointing Reunion

Earlier tonight, I saw a friend (just a friend, not an ex gf) who I haven't seen in a fairly long time. I went through a good amount of trouble to make the night enjoyable. I cleaned up my apartment and spent a decent amount of money on some nicer-than-usual quality food to make.

At first the conversation was a little awkward, almost like neither of us knew where to start. I expected that. Catching up with someone isn't always easy, especially when you regret not keeping in touch with them. But then things got bad. She brought up a past issue that I clearly didn't want to discuss with her (or anyone really) and when I made that clear to her, she made it seem like it's my duty to let her take the conversation wherever she wants. The issue in question didn't even really affect her. All she had to do was let it go.

She was angry that I snapped at her after she repeatedly refused to change the subject. I admit that I got a little too testy, but she seemed to discount everything else that I did (the cooking, cleaning, etc.) to make the night a good one. I don't even really regret the time and money that I spent. I regret letting her back into my life just for tonight because it reminded me how you don't really ever know if you're still friends with people.
