Something in air signaled that “the talk” was about to come up.
And it did.
- When are we getting married?
- I don’t know.
- But I thought you agreed we should get married?
- Well yeah. One day.
- When?
- I don’t know.
- But I want you to have my babies!!
She grew quiet.
- Say something.
- Well… I want to focus on my career. Kids are not on my agenda.
- What do you mean?
- I mean I don’t want to have kids!!
- But I though you loved me?
Again, she was quiet.
- You do love me. Don’t you?
- Say something!
- I don’t know.
- Is there someone else?
- I’m sorry. It’s not you. It’s me. One day you will find a girl who will truly love you. Here is your ring back.
He sat down and wept as she walked away.
