That was harsh. she said

                                                     maybe if she were born a boy but boysit occurred to him might not hurt a soul either

                   he wasnt that kind of boy he could see where that might be nicehe wasnt stupid it just wasnt in his madeup  he wasnt one who got along for the sake of getting along made nice 

always been confrontational

                               rubbed the wrong way he rasped back immediately 

no mistaking where he stood

Harsh I didnt say it to be harsh  I made an observation an stated it in simple determinate understandable words

What if it was said of you?

It wouldnt be

But what if it were?

It wouldnt

You’re imaginative, give it a momen . .

You want me to apologeez

Apologise.

It’d make me happy.

he liked to make her happy particularly after his words upset herit was usually his words when they chose not to talkwhen spending time together silently just being  well he couldnt begin to explain those conversations  the eyes had it

       Ill apologise. 

her mouth started to move

Ofcourse face to face  thats the point of being conFRONTational
