" you should have told me ." the kichen was quite ." journalists ." i murmured . since leaving vistemax . i had lost my bearings as to what went on in the company . nathan . however , swam with ease though the sea of numbers and strategy . " you should have said something ." i repeated .
nathan shrugged .
the silence had become of two people who were not communicating on the same level . on this point . sucessful relationships was firm and clear : it was a situation that should be sorted .
"i've bought you these ." i heard myself saying and handed over the bottle of multivitamins i had bought in my lunch hour .
that amused him . he tossed the bottle from one hand to the other ." thank you . mother minty ."
he changed into an old shirt in a washed-out blue that he had since the daewn of tome and refused to throw away . in the candlelight , the color deepened . my own deep black skirt now gleamed a bluish black . one of the candle flickered and went out , and nathan leand forward , nipped the wick between his fingers , and said with regret ," minty , you should not be spending your life watching me ."
" it has been a bad day ."
he blew on smoked fingers ." yes , it has ."
" nathan ..." the words trembled on my tongue . what is your " secret grief ." but they failed to masterialize for i already knew the answer , and it was uselress information , nathan 's secret grief was rose and the past ... and so was mine .
" take one of those vitamins ." i reached for the bottle and unscreewed the lid ." i'll take one too ." i held a pill between my thumb and finger ." be a good boy ."
