I had forgotten that feeling.
How could I have?
I had forgotten what it felt like when something someone said made me cry. Perhaps I had gotten too used to dealing with people who liked me, and cared about me, and worried about what a single word could do to someone with an ego as fragile as mine. Perhaps I was too comfortable in the knowledge that people could be forgiven the unkind things they said because they didn't mean to hurt me - when it was only true of people I considered my friends.
All he said was "yawn."
How can utter strangers have the power to make me cry?
