“Meet me in the boiler room.” The text comes through, per expectation, in the evening. Some nights she receives it. Sometimes she does not. She never knows, nor is it her place to know. It is His. She is thankful for the time He allows her. Her eyes sparkle, true emerald glint, when the text …
why someone dismisses another’s kind words
I saw a piece about someone who said something nice— and another someone responded with unkind words, and this made yet another person upset. “(S)he just said something nice.
