Iris:
I took a slow breath, trying to calm myself before greeting Kash.
I did not want him to see that I had rushed out of my room because of him.
I straightened my clothes and forced my face to relax as I stepped farther into the living room.
Deep inside, I felt embarrassed for thinking he had come to explain himself.
How many times was I going to embarrass myself by acting as if I still had the right to question him or be upset with him?
From the corner of my eye, I saw my mother standing in her doorway.
She did not look pleased. The medicine did not work. I had told him, yet here he was, being stubborn as always.
He knew I had seen him with someone else. The same someone he claimed he had not been sleeping with.
It was not that I expected anything after our relationship ended.
It was the fact that he was still lying. Why not just say the truth and free me from these feelings once and for all?
