I think it's different cause she's not around? As long as you don't ask for too much detail. That could make me crazy. [He siiigghs and tries to not be apologetic but it's still there.] Nah, that's not your fault! And, I shouldn't get pissy because I didn't have my shit together. It's just rough with me coming back all skinny and everyone grown up. It's rough, dude. [Hint of a smile.] Pretending shit is fine is how you get through war zones. I had this one buddy that laughed when he got hurt. Dude got shot twice and he was cracking jokes to keep us from freaking out. [Then, seriously:] I'm not going to lie, but I joke around, too. You know? Sometimes I can't take shit seriously and that's not lying, it's a personality flaw.
[He sits there and then makes a noise of agreement.] Me, too, babe. Me fucking, too. But, I'm choosing to be thankful shit turned out the way it did.
