Reckless
“Maren greets me at the sculpture park on this brisk October morning, her hands shoved in the pockets of her khaki trenchcoat. Her head is tilted, her eyes studying mine. “The list. Did you mean it?”
I move to her, wanting to take her hands but knowing it would be premature of me to assume it’s what she wants. My right hand still aches from when I punched Nathan last night. It wasn’t my plan. I intended solely to tell Maren not to choose him, but when I saw his face, I kept seeing his hands ...in her hair and his mouth on hers, and then I saw red, and by the time I came to, my ears were ringing and my fist was aching and Nathan was on the floor whining like a fucking pansy.

She texted me this morning, asking me to meet her here at noon today.
“Yes, Maren,” I say. “I meant it all.”
“Okay,” she says, licking her lips carefully.MoreLess
