She stops talking and begins looking back at her half-empty drink. I believe fights and arguments are meant to be talked out, analyzed, and fixed. Anything that’s big enough for her to start crying over anyway. So I just sit there telling myself that she’ll be okay and that the reason she doesn’t like to talk over fights is because of how she was raised. Her family is an argumentative but loving family.
