She playfully asked him,

“What are you getting me for Valentine’s Day?”

With a cruelty that her subconscious fiber would never forget,

even if her conscious mind ever did, he responded,

“Nothing. I am getting you nothing.”


For years to come,

she would continuously grimace at the chill of his iciness.

And then, a day came when it finally dawned on her

that this moment she had misconstrued as cruel

had in fact been his unwitting confession in plain sight:

he had nothing to give her…

because he was nothing to begin with.
