do you care if he said it
what if perchance he said it? She asked me.
This was an odd woman
sharing personal information with me at a party
I had just met her.
Why don’t you ask him? I suggested.
We are not speaking, she told me haughtily.
Do you care if he said it?
Not really.
Why spend time thinking about it then?
She stared at me for a second
Then rushed away.
To speak to another party-goer.
As I walked past them I heard her say
“What if he said it?”
I walked a little bit faster
