Elyse entered the apartment, trying her best to smile at Sierra. She sat in the chair offered and pulled her feet up underneath her. Elyse really did smile at the offer of wine and ice cream. It was such a stereotypical response to a break-up. At least Sierra had lightened the mood.
"Water would be fine,"
she said, trying to figure out how to word what she was thinking.
"I had a boyfriend. Last night he cheated on me with another man. I found them this morning. They smelled like sex and like each other. I..."
She puased, the fear taking over more than the sadness or anger. "I wanted to kill him...the other man. It's never been that strong before."
The tears were coming again. "He ran, and I wanted to chase him. I barely held on. I was so terrified."
Elyse wanted to get up and wanted to hug Sierra and wanted to be hugged in return. She couldn't stand up though. She was already embarrassed for coming over in this state and didn't want to scare her friend.
