Shipra, being the bubbly person she is, asked Jeff if he wanted to go.  I felt this rush of spite through me and was convinced that I would not go.  A few minutes later, as they were getting to leave, I declared that I wouldn\\&#8217;t go.  Jeff gave me this look.<\/p>\n<p>They made small talk as they gathered their stuff.  \\&#8221;I really want to buy new clothes in New York City.\\&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My irritation spread again and I looked up.  And I said, \\&#8221;You shouldn\\&#8217;t go.\\&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\\&#8221;Oh is it because you don\\&#8217;t want me to go?\\&#8221; Jeff asked.<\/p>\n<p>\\&#8221;Yes,\\&#8221; I replied.
