She didn't talk to me for a few weeks.
She didn't even look at me.
I didn't understand why.
Of all the things that had happened between us, her being upset about my unwillingness to defend myself seemed a little ridiculous.
Ok. Very ridiculous.
I was getting antsy.
I needed her presence.
She reminded me that I was alive. That there was still beauty left in the world.
Without her, my world was bleak.
I hated it.
