“Ok, If you don’t want to talk about it I’ll just leave it alone”, Zeke said with sympathy in his voice.
What!?
“Ok, what happened to the old Zeke”, I joke. I have a weird way of doing that in a moment of weakness.
“Nothing, he is right here. You just seem like you went through a lot.”
“It was a long time ago and I am much stronger.”
“But you walked in on him sleeping with another girl. That would be hard for anyone.”
“I said I didn’t want to talk about it!” I yell at him and my anger causes a shockwave of power through the forest that echoes.
“Wow, he really did hurt you a lot didn’t he?”
Zeke comes close to me and looks me in the eyes. What are you thinking about Zeke? I search and find only these words If she only knew.
“Knew what?”
He blinks fast like he is snapping out of it and turns away.
“Nothing, I think I will go start a fire”, he says quietly.
Huh? This is so unlike him.
