Summary
“Stop looking at me like that.”
He frowned, “like what?”
“Like you feel every emotion known to man right here.” She placed a hand on his chest, feeling the erratic heartbeat through the layers of fabric, then dropped it. “And you know it’s not enough. Your heart is brimming with them to the point they spill from your eyes. It’s the only way you can find reprieve, staining the others with your love in the most subtle of ways. A coffee stain you notice only once you’ve sat at your desk.”
He stayed silent for a bit, ruminating through his thoughts to find any clever quip to deny her. He came up empty. There was nothing to deny.
“But not you,” he said, “you notice instantly.”
“Of course I do.” She took a drag from a cigarette, letting the smoke fall between her red lips. “It burns me.”
