This Is How a Heart Breaks
That potential conversation Tyler tried to start certainly did not take off. I just turned away and then the movie started. Everything was going fine. I wasn’t talking to Tyler and he wasn’t talking to me just like I wanted.

I felt Tyler put his arm around me. I became breathless, but not in the good way. I stayed stiff as his arm was around me and shifted in my seat.
He noticed, “Everything okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine, thanks,” I said.

“What are you doing?” I asked him quietly.
“Uh…” he was startled as he brought his arm away from me.
