act three; one.
When Eli went
out with Thales,
it went quite well.
Except for when
they played songs
like "Blackbird"
by the Beatles,
and Eli spent
an hour
sobbing.
The pair left
after that. They
went and got
frozen yogurt.
Eli got Rocky Road,
Thales got
Supreme Marshmallow Surprise.
It was kind
of a metaphor,
maybe a symbol?
Eli couldn't tell,
but it said a
lot about the
kind of people
that the
two of
them were.
Eli was a bumpy road. Emotional and sad. Kind of messed up.
Thales,
as far as
Eli could tell,
was a happy
person.
Bubbly, and smooth.
Kind of sticky
and grumpy,
but her intentions
were good.
Eli and Thales stayed out late that night.
They bought their frozen yogurt,
and then they walked to the train tracks,
where they had met.
"So, Eli.
I have to ask."
"Ask away,
Madame."
"This thing,
the ring on your finger."
Eli breathed in,
her breath hitching in her throat.
"Who's is it?
Were you
engaged
or something?"
"Yeah. Me and Flynn...
We were 'engaged.'
We just knew
we wanted to
spend our lives
together."
"I think,
that you need
help letting go,
because you're
scared to do
it by yourself.
That's why
I am here.
To help you."
"How am I
supposed to let
go of something
that was so
important?"
"Come with me."
Thales said
in a demanding
tone,
holding her hand
out for
Eli to take.
