"Come thru" she said. "Okay" he said to her surprise. Then he was there and bored and they did that thing they do where he complains about her and she just takes it cause she knows he's right. She can't entertain him, is "shy" around him, can hardly speak but has so much on her mind yet nothing at the same time. "I just wanna lay down" she said. "All you do is lay down" he said commenting on her physical condition as well as her passivity is interpersonal conversation. He gets her (at times) but she fights it cause she fights everything. She does eventually try though and sometimes she wants to just break down in tears so he can hold her. And then there's always the awkward silence or unwarranted violence and his complaining. "You're this. You're that."Business as usual. They are like kids, her more childish than he. They both like SOMETHING about each other but it gets nowhere and nothing ever happens and she won't let him in and he is quick to let it go. Want for Attention- A Terrible Disease. So then he asked "Why am I here?" and she said "Because I called. I don't know why though". He looks to be dying of boredom but some part of him wants to be there. She doesn't get why he puts up with her, or why anyone else does for that fact. But he likes to see the good in people, just like herself. They talk a while, stare in space a while longer. She begins to feel at ease in the silence, all she needs is his presence though hers means nothing to him. He pulls her close and holds her. She does not have to cry.
