The Fall
“But on rare times, perhaps because we were both lonely, both confused and full of regret, we formed some kind of truce.
Weeks passed. We still walked our dogs, found ourselves in the same place—almost as if by accident and not design.
On those days we stood together like a pair of mismatched socks. Like nothing had ever happened. Somehow the physics wasn’t right, the way we stood in relation to each other. She pulled away, and I was more distant too. It was like in Earth Science, when two tecto...nic plates shift.
(Yes, a 73 on the last impossible exam, thanks a lot, Mr. Hoffnagger.) We both had changed, I guess. Morgan’s changes were more obvious. She wasn’t the same girl anymore. It used to be that with me at least, she was more open. Now her guard was up. Our trust was gone.
Okay, I am trying to be honest in these pages. I didn’t know what she was going to do. Nobody did. Otherwise, maybe I would have done things differently. I mean, I know I would have done things differently.MoreLess
