"Tell me why!" She says again with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Idle? I don't fucking know Cindy. Seems like all I've ever wanted is to settle down and now that I've done that it feels completely anti climactic. But I have a chance to do something there. Be seen, appreciated, celebrated"

"So what we have means nothing to you?-"

"No! God its- its just..."
"What is it?" She leans forward with her arms crossed
"I've spent my whole life doing nothing. No goals. If I died today I'd just be remembered like every other shmuck"

She leans against the doorframe weakly and stares at the floor. "I want you to say it"
"Say what?"
"Say that this is what you really want to do. And mean it when you say it"
"Cindy I-"
"Say it! Say you want this!" Her voice trembles.
"...I want this. I want this more than life itself"
She looks up at me. Her cheeks wet with tears as she moves out of the way.
"...Then get out and never speak to me again"435Please respect copyright.PENANAyStWlRvtxG

I take the first few steps out the house and flinch as the door slams behind me. Then I continue on.
