She asked if I’d broken up with Domini, and I explained that I’d yet to see her, so I hadn’t been able to. She folded her arms across her chest and looked at me through narrowed eyes, but there was no real anger or jealousy, because she knew there was no competition. Did I seek out Domini that night and tell her that it was over? Indeed I did. All was right with the world and I cared about nothing else. Domini has earned Damien Echols 73 the right to call me an asshole many times over. I could tell her heart was broken and I offered no comfort. I couldn’t get away from her fast enough, because I was living in denial. I wanted to believe the split with Deanna had never happened and the tryst with Domini never taken place. Because I knew that a vase which has been broken, even after it’s glued back together, is never the same. XX It was amazing how quickly the hurt stopped. Humpty Dumpty had indeed been put back together again and he was a grinning fool.
