i was masking off almost everything she was saying. i looked away. she kept on talking. this and that.
i whispered to myself, "i don't have to deal with this bullshit."
somehow, she heard it. she snapped. i stood up and walked towards the door. she was yelling. i clutched onto the knob.
and then out of the blue, she said, "the moon landing is a hoax."
that caught my attention. she caught my attention. 6 words.
my initial reaction was to bust her head open. but i didn't. was i letting it slip? no.
she suddenly stopped talking. as if it was a sacred secret she's been keeping and unintentionally slipped out of her tongue.
"don't go that far." i said.
"just don't."
i almost couldn't turn the knob either way because my palms were sweating so bad. after a couple of tight grips, i finally did.
i walked out. i could hear her sobbing. i walked away.
