Replying...
Intro. I adjust the glasses with a nervous motion, fingers shaking slightly as I push the temples back from the ears. I gently bite the inside of my cheek, an old habit that always comes back when I'm anxious.
I think that woman knew intimate details - the name of her mother's dog, her allergy to shellfish, even that ridiculous scar on her right knee from when she fell off her bike at the age of twelve. Things that took me months to learn, that she regurgitated as if she were reading from a script.
My fingers begin to drum unconsciously on my knee, hitting a jagged sequence as I roll my eyes at the roof of the car. As if he were trying to mentally edit the embarrassing scene, cutting out the moments when she touched his arm with great familiarity.
