How is That Working Out for You

“If I heard you right, you denied yourself and Sapphire and made both of you decrease your presence. Yeah, so how did that work out for you?”

“So now you are quoting the human TV host, Dr. Phill. Seriously Tara?”

“That was a legit question. You basically became a different person and lowered yourself for a male, so I ask, how did that work out for you? If you don’t learn from your choices, you will repeat them. I don’t want that for you.”

“It didn’t work out for me. Okay. Is that what you wanted to hear?” I asked in a huff.

“Yes, and no,” Tara said.

I looked at her incredulously.

“Yes, that’s the right answer, but no, in the sense that it still has not registered in your brain because if it had, your anger would be directed to the right place,” Tara said with a sigh.

“Zell, let’s deep dive. When was the last time you were really happy?”

“Honestly, it was the last time I was in our pack,” I said in a whisper.

“Do you know why?”
