"Lee, I'm really sorry about last night."
Inhaling deeply, I counted to ten and then exhaled before speaking. "It's not a big deal, Masyn. You cleared the air. I know where we stand. It's all good." I ground my teeth, trying to soften my tone.
"It seems like a big deal. You're obviously upset. I just want to talk about it."
"For God's sake, Masyn, I nearly cut off my f*****g thumb. It isn't about you being in love with your best friend." And not me.
I stared out the window waiting for her to come back at me, yell, tell me what an ass I was, yet it didn't come. The minutes ticked by with not even a peep from the driver's side of the vehicle. When I turned, a scowl lining my brow, Masyn stared out the windshield. Tears streamed down her cheeks and cut through the dust that lined them.
