she called

she was hurt again

I’m trying my best I am . I . really am . . I . a sob strangled her words . she gulped  I am . . I am.

she didnt have to convince him she was struggling to convince herself

                                                                            You have been

Try try try again proverb amateurverb

                                          If first you don succeed  maybe yare not meant to

she had been trying in her relationship for months and it was taking a toll shes not the bright happy girl she usually is

Wha

Clarifying questions.  

Clarifying questionswho says that I havent used it in agesclarify butter Ive clarified butter more recently than Ive said it or even read it

Wha

He says I scold him reprimand him.

    didnt sound like her

                           We scold or reprimand children

Yes.  I haven’t been scolded since I was a child.

I cornered him with an unanswerable question; asking, as he wishes, a clarifying question.

                                                                                               she didnt corner people

he listened Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

                                                                    he said Hes not listening to you when you speak

He she said didn’t like the tone of her text. she said The tone of a text that doesn’t exist.

    It does not

                 Whoever reads it assigns it a tone 

texts are meant for informal banter 

if someone had something serious to discuss theyd text  :  :  Can we talk? Can we meet?

When he was hanging up he told me to email him.

NO he was done listening

No. I’m not emailing, he’s going to have to meet me face to face.

Yes  Stick to your gunsyou know who you are You should be valued

                                                                          I value you I love you

she laughed finally  You haven’t a choice.  I love you too; thank you for listening to me, always listening to me.

Of course  I love you   Yare welcome Sweetpea
