Talk? No. They didn’t need to talk. He didn’t need to talk. Talking was the opposite of what he needed to do. He was tired. He had spent the last day sat organising all of her magazines. It was busy work but it didn’t stop the constant running of thoughts in his head.
“About-About what? The weather? It’s pretty sunny out there.” His voice stuttered to cover the fact that up till that point he’d not been paying attention to her.
She was tired, so goddamn tired. Not of him, but of this rope-tight dance between them, of pretending not to worry, dispatching him for favors, for chores, anything to see just the sliver of a smirk or smug face at some comment. She longed to have her friend back, but knew it wasn’t an easy path to walk. So his look of panic nearly made her offer some light-hearted comment.
“’Bout where the two of us are gonna be in a couple of months.” She cast her eyes at sea, tracing the shoreline in the horizon. “You don’t wanna be stuck with me forever.”
