THE WORDS CUT, and suddenly it feels as through the bullet wound in his stomach as reopened at least temporarily, or emotionally. who knows. he canât place the feeling. heâs lost. in her expression, and it feels as though he canât be anything but honest while he looks at her ( all he wants to do is hide ) â come on ce, you saw me equally as infrequently when i was at school with dal⊠â because he feels bad about it, he can see it in the way she speaks as if emotions were WORDS AND COLORS prominent in front of him. it hurt her. itâd been painful for him too⊠being away from her, not knowing if she was okay but ââ- heâd put that all aside with the excuse that he was protecting her. â iâm sorry ce⊠iâm so sorry. â he leans in a little, pressing his forehead lightly against hers. â iâm sorry. â
Hands go to his wrists trying to ground herself. Sheâs not a sad drunk,  an honest drunk yeah always an honest drunk ... it so happened though that she was just sad now. âItâs not the same as it was then ... I didnât have to deal with him all on my own, or make the hardest decision Iâve ever made alone. But it hurts even more now...Because I look at you and I know everything I picture will never happen. I know that youâll be pulled away from me again, throwing me into sleepless nights and with the news on 24/7 shaking until I just get your letters...â She takes a breath. Fingers dancing along his wrists. âBut donât ever be sorry ... it hurts yeah ... but itâs worth it.â
