One Night, No Names
That is the point.
I do not scream, either. Screaming would mean admitting there is something to scream about.
It would give Aiden a shape to push against, a moment to defend himself, to explain, to dismiss.
So I refused him that clarity. When he speaks, I listen with an even face, nodding where appropriate, storing every word in a quiet, private place she never opens in front of me..
I tend to do away with anything that would make me get pissed, At work I smile, not the wide but one that signals competence and calm.
