She just kind of stares at me, looking confused. Lovely, I've muddled this, of all things, and I can't think of anything else to say that'll help. Then it looks like she gets what I was saying, because she lights into me. Not hitting me but angry and fed up and, oh goddess, crying.
I wrap my arms around her, just real slow. Just a hug. Just a hug for my girlfriend, because we love each other. Not sure what it's come to that I'm thinking things like that and not panicking, but all right.
She mops at her eyes and sniffles, asking for her coffee. I reach behind her and grab it off the table. "Here you go." Ease away from her and put it in her hands. So lovely, and it hurts to see her crying.
I'm barely even still mad that she called me an idiot. "Do you--I mean, should I say it all the time?" Really don't think I could manage that. "It just seems like it would take the meaning away, or something." And goddess, what if she decides to say it all the time to me? I guess I could figure out how to like that.
