"do you ever miss him?"
"no."
she said before she even had time to think about what she was going to reply.
because she knows inside her heart is going to tell her
"yes, yes you miss him. yes you love him. because not a day goes by that his name doesn't roll off your tongue or boggle your mind."
and maybe if she says "no" over and over again,
she'll never want to hear his name again.
