Searing secrets spill all over the floor between us like lava.
Seizing
Ripping
Tearing
Emotions clog my thoughts and rip through my fragile mask
Exploding onto my unsuspecting face.
Swallow them back. Don't act like a child.
You are better than this. Don't act like him.
A million volatile thoughts finally form one question: "why?"
A sideways glance. A floorboard focal point.
A thousand excuses escape and fall into the molten floor.
A skirt, a smile, a kiss, a mistake.
Forgiveness?
Forget it.
And the bell over the door chimes.
