“You don’t want to?” Skyler didn’t expect Leon to answer her that way and just repeated his words with some froth.
Leon did not look at her, but went forward to check her injuries. Skyler did not give him any face, directly put the leg on the stool down, the hand pillow also put aside, avoiding his hand to check, so that Leon placed in mid-air hand has been placed in mid-air, nowhere to rest.
Skyler didn’t think she had said anything wrong, and her words were very direct: “So is there something you don’t want me to do in the future that I can’t go do?”
To Leon’s ears this sounded a bit deliberate and he hurriedly defended: “You know that’s not what I meant …”
Skyler looked at him with an apologetic face and spoke in a weaker tone, “What’s not, isn’t that what’s being expressed?”
“I just think that a girl who is already married, should put her family first in everything, ah, look, this time accidentally hurt his leg, recently we have a lot of things to do, so this, is not a small loss, we need to distract the energy is not more? If there is no this movement, then all the unnecessary, completely can be avoided ah.”
Leon was on the verge of feeling that he would never be as eloquent in his life as he was today, and he felt like he was convincing himself by saying so. But this seems to be adding another spoonful of oil to the existing fire in Skyler’s head.
“Unnecessary and unnecessary because of the small, avoid? What are you talking about today, why can’t I understand?” Skyler struggled to quell the anger in his heart, just a little bit, if he had said one more word, he thought she would probably have a fit on the spot.
Leon wanted to sit next to her on the couch, but Skyler stood up directly. He was worried that she might accidentally fall if she stood up because her feet were not healed, so he reached out again to try to hold her.
Skyler’s hand shifted, intentionally avoiding his movement, “According to you, are you now resenting the fact that my sprained foot will make you take care of me, thus delaying your own time?”
Leon’s emotions also rose and fell a bit: “How could you think that, you know I didn’t mean it!”
“Then I really feel sorry for you, my emotional and intellectual quotient can’t understand you correctly.” Skyler squatted down to organize two slippers: “I can feel is that you do not understand my hobby and the dislike of my injury after, do not worry, my injury will soon heal, do not need you to take care of me, you have time, or more help Brayden.”
She left this comment and went straight into the room, stubbornly refusing to let Leon help her even though she was not walking very steadily.
Leon is not aware of anything, he only feels invisible as if there is a gap between him and Skyler, there is an invisible barrier that is separating the two people from each other in the sky and the earth.
He sat down in a disheveled manner where she had just been sitting, reaching for the sushi pillow she had been holding, as if the soft plush surface of the pillow still held her warmth, as if that would shorten and shorten the distance between them.
Skyler back against the door of the room, she closed her eyes, clenching her lower lip, how could she, how could she say those words out, knowing that he did not mean any harm at all, he cared for her ah, but those hurtful words, like a merciless sword, were stabbed out deeply by her.
It always feels like there is something that is changing invisibly.
The best way to explain this night is to sleep in separate rooms, each with their own thoughts, and stay awake all night. A night full of contradictions, two people can only look through the window in the room, looking at the stars in the sky.
“Skyler, Skyler!!!”
This is the fourth time Dolly has called out to her like this. When she still didn’t respond, Dolly reached out and waved her hand in front of Skyler’s eyes.
“Huh? Dolly, what did you just say, I didn’t quite catch it.” Skyler then slowed down.
Dolly stirred the coffee in her cup, smiling a little puzzled: “I didn’t say anything, but what’s wrong with you, early in the morning, as if you lost your soul, and your face is not good, did you not rest on time?”
Skyler laughed and shook his head, “No more, just didn’t get much sleep …”
Dolly tore open a piece of packaging containing sugar, and broke open a piece of intact white sugar handed to her: “This is not good, women na, should sleep more beauty sleep … hey, there is really nothing wrong with it”
Skyler took the white sugar Dolly handed him and poured it into his own cup, “Thanks, Dolly, I’m really fine.”
Dolly poked her with her index finger, “Hey, what the hell, keeping secrets from me?”
Skyler quietly put the cup to her lips and after taking a careful sip, she asked Dolly, “Dolly, if you fell and got hurt, who would be the first person you would think of to help you up?”
“Brayden, of course!” Dolly replied without a second thought.
Skyler’s hand shook slightly, and the small spoon in her hand hit the wall of the cup with a crisp thump.
“What if you fell down, but you and Brayden were arguing? Would you resent him helping you?” Skyler’s eyes widened, obviously looking forward to Dolly’s answer.
Dolly looked away, she nuzzled: “Well … of course not ah, if he helps me, of course I will think he is showing me good ah, can make Brayden bow down not many opportunities, can be good to catch!”
Skyler’s mind was already a jumble of thoughts, Dolly was saying the truest of reactions, but she had none! She was full of revulsion, full of no, no!
Dolly quickly noticed that something was wrong with her and asked carefully, “What’s wrong, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did you have a fight with Leon?”
The reason for such a strange reaction all of a sudden, wandering off early in the morning to find her soul and asking her all these questions about her love life, can probably be guessed by her.
Skyler, of course, denied it, but her denial in Dolly’s eyes is the invisible acquiescence, Dolly did not pay attention to Skyler’s denial, but to speak on their own: “between the couple, there is a conflict is very normal, there is no conflict, but to live a tasteless life ah, there is no conflict is not terrible, because the most important thing is two people together Grinding together ah.”
“Shouldn’t it be appropriate for two people to be together?” Skyler asked rhetorically.
Dolly laughed and nodded her forehead, “Fool, what is the point of talking about suitability between couples, how can they be together if they are not suitable? I’m talking about bonding, but of course it’s based on suitability.”
