I was the one who humiliated myself, clinging to memories that meant nothing anymore, grinding away by his side year after year until I had no dignity left.
Just then, Hannah's voice drifted over. "Theo, don't you think this carving looks especially like me?"
Theo lowered his head, a crooked smile on his lips. "Whether it's really like you," he said, "we won't know until we try it out."
Hannah shot him a coy glare and lightly punched his chest. "You're awful."
He took her hand and, right in front of me, kissed her deeply.
The wet sound of lips and tongues tangled together filled the room. I turned my eyes away, though my fingers tightened without me realizing it.
