Inside of Myself – 6

My sister began to gush about Maxie.  I did/did not want to hear what she had to say.

On one hand I was ravenous for information about Maxie.  On the other, this was my sister’s boyfriend and I was engaged to another man.

It was then, taking off my dress and shoes, hearing Jenny’s gush, I developed my counterfeit personality.

I pretended that I was near indifferent when in truth I was avid.  I went in to take a shower, and she followed.  She sat on the toilet, talking and talking about the man she was falling in love with.

When I came out she was not finished, and so I knew that Jenny loved that man as much as I did.

I would let it go.  Let go of all possible connections.  Save and except, my dreams.
