And she’s off again. I want to go after her, but H is in the way and with every step I take he flexes his muscles. No matter how hard I try, I won’t get very far before he’ll be on me, again. I’m not sure what to say or if I should even speak. I’m pretty sure that if I even look the wrong way my face will be meeting the pavement. H has always had a temper, and it doesn’t seem like that has gone away. It’s weirdly comforting to see him like this, the same as the last time I saw him. Memories of that final night clash with the reality going on around me. I start simple. “Hi.” H nods, glaring at me. “Can I…” I move my hands. “She doesn’t want to see you or speak to you.” Well, that was pretty obvious from her behavior. But I need to see her, talk to her, one last time. I have to try.
