I was furious that he had the audacity to break up with me
over the phone. It was entirely impersonal and I believe he owed me more than
that. I didn’t fully love him, but I definitely had feelings for him. Since he
displayed such little regard for me, I resolved to stop caring about him.
Feeling hurt in this way was a new experience for me though and it took a while
for me to gain my bearings again. By the time Nick came to visit me I felt numb
towards him and worked to maintain an indifferent attitude. He spoke with me
for a while and we shook hands. Before he could leave I felt my anger prickling
beneath the surface. I knew Nick prided himself in his straightforward nature,
so I made a comment belittling his honesty. I felt satisfaction in seeing the anger
on his face as he left.
