Love(ly) Problems

"You really should stop watching fairy tales. They're making you dumber than you already are".

Carlyle scoffed,cast a fleeting glance at me and shook his head before turning to the road.

Amusement was crystal clear in his expression.

I pouted" Who wouldn't love stories with happy endings?"I was deep in mock thought .

"Oh,right.It's Lyle" I rolled my eyes and motioned to him.

"How do you think both our parents had failed marriages?" Annoyance was starting to creep into his voice.

"I wouldn't know because I can't remember anything, can I?".I almost snapped at him.

He shook his head as swerved down the road.

" I wish they had an happy ending "I whispered but the silence carried it far enough for him to hear.

His expression was now stoic .

" Happy endings only belong in fairytales,Deanna."the steel in his voice couldn't be mistaken.

We locked our eyes before he finally looked away and back to the road.

Was it true?.Was that why I lost Ryan?Why he wasn't happy?Why we both had broken families? Why Why Aunt Meg Can't seem to find the right man?.

But,...

There are people and families with good,healthy relationships. Why do we keep failing? What're we missing?

†††††††††

Relationships,in general ,demand a lot more than love in it.

But what happens when people think it's the only ingredient they needed ?
