“Yes, I am. It’s the only reasonable thing to do. I can’t feel this way about him. It’s distracting.” What was really distracting was Alex scowling at her across the kitchen Island. Ella refused to acknowledge it however, instead focusing on heating the can of beans Alex had pleaded for.
“Reasonable?” Alex pushed the unfinished bowl of cereal away and grabbed the towel, dabbing her lips with it. “How is quitting the ‘reasonable’ thing to do?” She made air quotes when she spoke, looking lost at Ella's words.
