Pride's Revelation

Rita was leaving that night she as much as told him so, but he didn't understand what she meant by what she said. It was still running through his mind what Rita had said.

"Dwayne Pride have you not realized that you don't talk to me like you used to? I'm tired of trying to get through to you!" Rita said.
