“After hearing some of the sick   
shit we talked about, I was afraid     
you'd take it the wrong way, and I'd   
never see you again.”                  
     “It's gonna take me a long time,  
before I can forgive you for this one, 
Crim. I mean, you lied to me. How do I 
know you won't ever do it again?”      
     “I guess you'll just have to learn
to trust me all over again,” I said,   
and then took a deep breath, “What I   
did, I did because I love you so much, 
and all I can do now is promise to     
spend the rest of my life, proving     
it'll never happen again.              
     “By the way,” I tried to ask      
casually, “how’d you find out about    
them anyway?”                          
     Beth was absentmindedly rubbing   
her shoulder when that crooked little  
* smile came out, and she laughed a        
little before saying sheepishly, “I    
guess, I've also been deceitful.”      
     “What'd you do?”                  
     “I followed you one time.”        
     “When?” I asked, but kind of knew 
the answer.                            
     “Right after I moved in.”         
     “Was that when we had that big    
fight?”                                
     “You remember the fight, but do   
you remember what we fought about?”    
     “That stupid chair, that's still  
here by the way. You wanted me to get  
rid of it, and I won.”                 
     “But, it's not in the living room 
anymore, is it? So, I won too,” and    
then she stuck her tongue out at me.   
     Jeez, how can you stay mad at     
someone like that? I know I can’t, and 
then she kissed me.
