Vacant
“It’s the only possible explanation."So, you're okay? Don’t listen to those girls, Emily." I’ll just pretend those three little words aren't hanging in the air—regardless of whether they were actually said."Ethan, did you hear what I just said?"What do I say? I have no idea how to approach this, so I just stare at her wide-eyed.After a few moments, I feel warmth creeping up my thigh and realize its Emily’s hand. At first, it’s an attempt to get my attention, but as her hand ascends, I realize th...e intent is not so innocent."We have to go. It’s time to go," I say, stilted, like Rain Man talking about his Kmart underwear.~I grip the steering wheel for dear life because if I don't, the car and my life will go careening into the abyss. I’ve spent all this time convincing myself that Emily and I could never be anything but friends. Knowing that she may feel the same about me as I feel about her will complicate things, and I suddenly feel trapped.It’s so quiet as we drive, that I hear a small plinking that would go unnoticed otherwise, but as I near the duplex, the sound the car is making increases.MoreLess
