A Story in 100 Words.
Kyle looked at her and said: “I guess that’s it.”
Leaning against the wall, Mary snarled: “You’re a prick.”
“Fuck you, Mary. You’re the one who kept yourself closed off. You did everything you could to ensure that I would leave,” was what he wanted to say.
Keeping it level, he said: “I guess so. You keep reminding me.”
From outside, Tony honked.
Kyle turned to leave.
“Just wait,” she said.
He paused.
“I don’t want you to leave.”
“Maybe. But you don’t want me to stay either.”
She hung her head and looked up just as the door closed.
