Hey.
Hey.
They
stood there for a minute, irritated patrons pushing their way past them on the
stairs. Normally she would get all red-faced and angry at herself for
inconveniencing others, for making them maneuver around rather than minimizing
herself in order to let people get by. Today she didn’t really give a shit.
Today they didn’t even feel like they existed. Today she was different.
They
stood like that in the awkward soup of accidental meeting, not knowing what to
say or how to broach it. She tried to interpret how he looked at her – what was
in his eyes, did he still care, had he ever cared – and found that she wasn’t
much interested in the answer.
It
was over. That much was clear. There were no phony promises of texting,
calling, getting together. None of that. Whatever they had once been, now they
were nothing.
