I put on a brave face and present myself. I couldn’t say anything and didn’t need to. We’re both grown and know how this works.
But his face…
He looked so disappointed. It broke me, and I wanted to fix it, knowing there was nothing to fix. I felt like I should apologize or something. For what? I don’t know! I just needed him to not look at me that way.
I asked him several times to say something, but how could I expect a response when I had none? He stood there, shocked and staring at me wide-eyed. Watcher, I needed him to say something. Anything!
