"I feel like I'm falling."
Girl. Lying on the bed on her stomach. Reading a book about fairies. She didn't look up but she did ask, "In love?"
I went, no, no. Apart.
"I'm falling apart," I said.
"That's what it feels like."
"Oh. Okay."
There were princes and castles in that book.
She went, finally, "Sorry, sorry."
She held the book up with her finger between the pages.
"Gimme a minute. I like love stories. I just need to finish this one."
I told her "okay" and I waited
because I can do love
but I am no story.
