The air crackled; pre-cum tenses – with unspoken tension between their eyes;  “please tell me you didn’t.” __—a silent pause,__ “well, I’d rather not,” he replied, a hint of passive aggression lurking beneath his own shy’s. “Can we talk about it either way,” __—a silent pause,__ “absolutely not! There’s nothing left to say; it’s all over, just like I am,” – he struggles to find the right words to send her away. “I refuse to give up, because giving up means allowing you to drown in your own doubts– hey, it happens; but it won’t change how I feel. Love is friction, but let’s not compare its love life to fiction. All films are written, but our lives are _unscripted”_ – "Let's just promise ourselves to talk about these things"
