“Let’s be honest about some of our lies.”
He wasn’t sure if he heard her right.
“…”
“I said I want to be honest about some of the lies we’ve told each other."
“I’ve never lied to you.”
“Yeah…I know. But I’ve lied to you. And I’m ready to come clean.”
“You want to be honest about lies? You want to be honest about lies you’ve already told? That makes no sense…what does that even mean?”
“It means I’m ready to tell you the truth about things that have happened in the past.”
“So you’re telling me that you’re finally ready to come clean about all the lies I’ve already caught you in?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that’s very noble of you.”
“Are you mad? You’re mad aren’t you?”
“Why the fuck shouldn’t I be mad? I’ve done nothing but try to treat you like the queen of the world since the day we met and you’ve done nothing but shit on me. If I had any sense at all I wouldn’t even be speaking to you right now. If I had half a fucking brain I would have cut you out of my life a long time ago with one fierce, final stroke.”
“But you are still speaking to me and you didn’t cut me out of your life…what does that say?”
“I don’t know…I really, really don’t know.”
THE END
Ouch.
