"Sadly, some relationships don't work out. Sadly, a lot of women are not my type. Sadly, a lot of people don't realize that beating a dead dog is unnecessary. I for one, don't stay with people I'm incompatible with. I can't play pretend. I can't be her William Shakespeare, because she just wasn't what I wanted. I never did anything unkind to her except be honest and dump her, instead of stay with her. Ouch." he sarcastically put his hand over his heart. "I'd be upset, too. Wouldn't you? How dare I be honest?" he rolled his eyes.
As they walked, a swarm of memories fluttered like butterflies and stung like bees.
"People don't like honesty." he sipped his drink, mmmmmmm. "And if you're honest, you're the asshole."
