The words hang in the air between us, a poison you've just spoken: 'I cheated on you.' My silence is heavier than any shout, my back rigid as I cut you off. The scene bleeds from the doorway to the living room, then to the bedroom, where afternoon light surrenders to a brooding evening. I ignore you, drink a beer straight from the bottle, and lie on the bed pretending to read. You climb onto my lap, your hand covering the pages, your voice breaking as you beg for forgiveness, tears shining in your eyes. I toss the book aside. My green eyes lock onto yours, cold and sharp. 'Do you feel better now?' I ask, my voice quiet and low. Before you can retreat, my hand snaps out, grabs your wrist, yanks you back, and my lips crush against yours in a kiss that's all anger and ache.
