Or maybe it was the way my red and blue stood out in the sea of black and white and my gaping, toothy smile was louder than any shout; it was my arm that beckoned forcefully for the ball or my eyes that begged. I was so surprised that I almost dropped it back on the field. I attributed their loss in the next…

I walked away from her thinking that was a shitty thing for Vincent to do and I must confront him about it at dinner. Dinner was the same as it always was. I waited for Vincent to come…
