"Emma! Just try and understand that I don't want her here!"
"But David, please-"
"No Emma. I'll give her until the end of September but after that, she's gone!"
"Why do you dislike her so much!? She's done nothing to you!"
"She's a walking memory! How the hell do you not start crying every time she walks by!? She looks exactly like her!"
"David, don't pretend that this isn't hard for me too!"
"I don't need to! You have a freaking heart of stone!"
"David-"
The door to Emma's art studio slammed shut and I felt silent tears falls down my cheeks, staining the list I had been writing. The tears caused the pencil to blur and erase most of the work I had labored on for the past hour. It was hard for me to understand why I was crying, but I found myself unable to stop once I started. Silent sobs wracked my chest and I pulled my blanket up to my chest, trying to calm myself down.
It took the better part of the hour to compose myself and I kept checking my reflection in the mirror to see if my puffy eyes had disappeared. Finally they had and I was able to go down stairs. On my way to the kitchen I found Emma in her studio, standing by the window at her easel.
She was painting a woman who looked a lot like herself clutching a rose tightly in her hands. Blood dripped down her palms onto her white dress from the thorns but it seemed to me like the woman kept holding on even though it hurt.
"What's that?"
"Oh! Mavis, you startled me."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"No, no. It's fine."
She had dried tears on her face and I resisted the urge to reach out and comfortable, instead wrapping my arms around myself in a hug.
"What are you painting?"
"This? Nothing.....it's just nothing."
"Umm...okay?"
"Yeah......okay."
"Okay."
