My Friend Said Something...

My friend said something today.

Struck me dumb. My only choice to laugh it off, make jokes.

Possibly be passive-aggressive... 

We were talking... I asked if she liked a Friends-to-lover's couple

(Her favorite trope)

Her Answer (paraphrased): "Oh, uh... I only like straight friends-to-lovers..."

It struck me dumb.

What's the difference?

Love is love, isn't it?

Why can't she like all friends-to-lovers?

Why must they be straight?

What is with this?

This world, striking me dumb.

My friend said something, and she didn't think.
