His shoulders tensed, and he reached out, grabbing a pillow off the top of his bed and pressing it to his face. ...okay, if that's what it takes. I opened the bedroom door.

She stepped into the room and sat down at the end of the bed.

He didn't let her see his face. He mumbled a quiet apology through the cotton.

2016-05-29 23:11:05

●

"Why are you apologizing?" She looked confused.

2016-05-29 23:13:59

🌀

".....for making you.....feel worse......"

2016-05-29 23:14:25

●

"About...?"

2016-05-29 23:14:37

🌀

"......everything......"

2016-05-29 23:15:16

●

"I don't feel bad about anything?"

2016-05-29 23:15:45

🌀

".......you said you did?....."

2016-05-29 23:15:55

●

"More so the fact that you're avoiding me like I have some kind of disease."

2016-05-29 23:17:12

🌀

"....oh.....sorry.....I do.....not...you......"

2016-05-29 23:18:01

●

"No?"

🌀

".....I look like him.....I'll make you..."

2016-05-29 23:19:30

●

"So what if you do?"

2016-05-29 23:19:40

🌀

".......you don't want to think about him.....looking at me will make you....remember...him...."

2016-05-29 23:20:15

●

"I don't want to think about him because he's annoying, not because he reminds me of you."

2016-05-29 23:20:46

🌀

"....no, because he almost..../hurt/ you..."

2016-05-29 23:21:53

●

"Hurt me? He only saw me shirtless. Women in Africa wear even less in pubic than what he saw."

2016-05-29 23:22:55

🌀

"...but he came....close....."

2016-05-29 23:25:35

●

"And in the end he didn't."

2016-05-29 23:26:02

🌀

".....it didn't....scare you?...."

2016-05-29 23:29:02

●

"Not even a little."

2016-05-29 23:29:30

🌀

"........" He lowered the pillow a little, wiping his eyes. There was a wet spot on the pillowcase. How did it not scare her? She was almost....

●

She slowly took his hand. "I'm okay. Completely."

2016-05-29 23:31:59

"....are you sure?...."
