Summary
Helga is the first to look away, shattering the moment between them and leaving Arnold stranded on his own tiny island with an abject feeling of loss. Don't look away from me, he wants to shout. Don't pay attention to anyone who isn't me. But the words stick to his throat like tar, and he says nothing as she heaves herself out of the pool and walks away without so much as a backwards glance.
Or: the one where the gang goes to Disney World.

Summary
So... Arnold had cheated on his girlfriend. My man Arnold. Cheated. On his girlfriend. But it was the way that he said it that really interested me: he just said it. It was a statement to him, not a confession, or a heart-wrenching admission of guilt. He said it the same way he'd tell me he was out of sugar.
