— replacement for love. She was hard on the outside, but softer maybe than the rest of us inside. In her eyes, I could still see the sad —

— little girl she tried to hide, that she’d buried down deep and masked with in all of her bitchy glory, lonely and longing for love, the —

— same girl who’d protect us all to the death - if we weren’t already dead. We all knew why she held such a special hatred for cheaters. —

— I’d seen it myself. Seen her dad, even now, nearly sixty, fuckin’ around with younger women while her mother drank herself into a stupor —

— with enough pills to forget the pain, just as lonely, just as empty, just as ignorant to love as the rest of us. It wouldn’t be long —

— that they confess? Drive them from their little love nest out onto the nearest ledge so they make the six o’clock news? Bonus points if —

— they jump and put everyone else out of their misery… Stalk them and dig up enough dirt to ruin the rest of their pathetic lives? Freeze —

— them mid-coitus so they can’t move and mommy dearest, with kids in tow, I’m guessing, comes home to find him balls deep on the La-Z-Boy? —
