We didn’t talk much at home.
*
When you were a kid?
Right.
*
What was that like?
Quiet.
*
Quiet, as in peaceful? Or as in lonely?
Lonely, mostly.
*
Also confusing.
Why confusing?
*
You never knew what was going on.
What people were thinking or feeling.
*
Sounds uncomfortable.
Yes.
*
And now? How is it with Felicia?
Pretty much the same.
*
(Sigh.)
*
What did that sigh mean?
It means you’re screwed.
*
Screwed how?
*
Well, you don’t like talking.
And not talking leaves you confused and lonely.
So it’s a lose-lose situation.
*
It is.
*
Any suggestions?
Just one.
*
Pick your poison.
