My Husband's Brother
I tell him, “So I am going to head back. “
“Yes, yes. Sure. “
“I will see you around. “ I tell him and turn to leave.
“Hey, Lilan, “ he calls after me, “Thanks. You are an awesome friend. And a nice costume tonight, by the way. “
“Yeah.”
I mutter and walk away. The shoes I am wearing are super uncomfortable so I take them off and continue barefoot. The ground is super cold, and I step on a few small pebbles. I notice my fishnets are torn and I groan.
“Fuck any of it, “ I say out loud. I feel like crying, but awesome friends don’t cry, right?
