Residue

Because today is one of those days..

"It went okay but we had a bad start, you had just woken up and I was lost."
"Are you ever lost?"
"More often than you think, lost in thought, lost in space and time, lost in decisions and emotions."
"Be more responsible, don't just waste all your earnings for nothing! Save up and I promise you it will be better in a long term."
"Since when do my finances have anything to do with us?"
"Since you decided we're going to be an us thing, a while back. Remember? You made me promise and I did, we were going to make it happen."
"I guess that was probably the worst thing I could ever make you promise, now you're forced to keep it..."
"Why would you put it that way? It's all I've ever wanted anyway."

Fragment from one of my short stories.
