Handle the Truth

We enjoyed each other's company in silence, but it didn't take long for my own mind to break the peace. I couldn't stop thinking and replaying the events that happened earlier in the evening with Daniel and all the words that he had said to me.

"What's the matter? You're all tense," Raphael asked observingly.

"I'm sorry. I'm trying my best to forget, but it just keeps on coming back to me," I confessed in a shaky voice as I tried to keep the dark memories at bay. I closed my eyes, but Daniel's words swirled around in my head along with his smug confidence. Something was bothering me, and I was entirely sure that it had less to do with how he physically handled me and more to do with his words-what he said and what he implied.

"Listen, when I was with Daniel earlier, he said something weird," I began saying before taking a pause. My words clearly captured Raphael's attention and also his curiosity.

"What did he say?" Raphael asked.
