CHAPTER SIX

Brian doesn't even knock when he comes into my office anymore. I tell myself it doesn't matter. We're coworkers. We live together. We're with each other almost 24 hours a day. But the way he does it isn't about familiarity. It's about aggression and disrespect. Just like the look on his face every time he sees me. The sneer when he looks down at the heels I'm wearing. Or the So you're wearing lipstick now? he shot at me yesterday morning.

"I'm going out after work," he announces. "I already talked to Savannah. She'll give you a ride home."

He turns around without even giving me a chance to reply. "Where are you going?" He's already in the entrance when I ask, and I'm sure he'll pretend he didn't even hear it.

But he stops. "Just out." He doesn't turn back to look at me. Another disrespect, but in a way, it's better than seeing the disgust on his face. "I don't know when I'll be home." He starts to lean back into my office, but he hooks his hand on the doorframe and uses it to pull himself out.

"Tonight?" It's silly, but I'm suddenly worried that he's moving out.

"Tonight. Probably late." He's in the broad open area outside the office and his voice is muffled by the distance as it bends through my door to me.

I lean back in my chair, and it tilts so I'm staring at the ceiling on the other side of the room. Just out. I don't even deserve to know where he's going anymore? Is this payback for getting my nails done Tuesday? I push away the thought as soon as it occurs. It's definitely not that. It's more. I just wish I knew what. I hold my nails out in front of me. Seeing them still makes me smile. One of the only things right now that does.

I barely do anything the rest of the afternoon. I'm too busy replaying everything that has happened between Brian and me in the last couple of weeks and then trying to convince myself that I don't care anyway, so it's all just a giant waste of time. When Savannah knocks on my door, I jump.

"Hey girl. Sorry. Just checking to see if you're ready." She looks at my empty desk and the computer screen behind me that turned to energy saver mode a long time ago and laughs. "If you're not too busy to leave."

I scan the office, but I don't even have anything to put away, so I grab my purse and try to smile at her, even though I'm sure it looks as forced as it is. "I think I can pull myself away. Thank you for doing this."

I make it all the way to the car before I ask her if she knows what Brian is doing. "I don't know," she says, "but he and Mitch left together. So whatever that means."

"Probably a bar." I say it more to myself than to her as I click the seatbelt in place.
