Cynthia’s Complicated Feelings – Part Three

"When it comes to Henry, I have a drawer in my head," Cynthia began, "I feel like what I do is that instead of folding everything and checking it then placing it neatly in a way that makes sense, I just throw things inside…Shove as much as possible in there and then close it quickly…Then I run away from it and try to forget what I had placed there, I often forget…"

'My poor child had no one to talk to about all of this,' Gloria started blaming herself for failing to be there for Cynthia when she obviously was pushing herself too much not to exhibit any emotions for her ex.

Cynthia who was measuring her aunt's reaction could tell what she must've been thinking, "It has always been like this, when I first became his girlfriend…when we got engaged and quickly got married after that…Things between Henry and I almost always felt half solved…I blamed myself for the longest time because of this, you know?"
