Sol's House Lounge

"Hey Ruth, how are you? Are you still at my place?"

"Why would I still be there? Since you decided to leave me here to follow another woman." She sounded offended. "I am at my place and I know you called because you wanted to ask for your keys, I left them behind the flower pot."

"Okay, thank you, but you didn't answer my first question. How are you?"

"I don't want to answer that. What are you expecting to hear from me? That I am not fine? That I am happy you leave me hanging all the time to run around town with other women? What do you want to hear exactly?"

"I just want to know how you are doing."

"John, I have tried to get back to you but you keep pushing me away. I love you, but you don't love me anymore."

That statement of hers hit hard, it should have but it did. I was about to ask her if I was the one that made her do what she did in the past, but she ended the call on me before I had the opportunity to.
