I don't need to forgetI saw you this morning, way too early. I looked, of course, like hell: ratty pajamas, in need of a shower, my hair everywhere, and those noisy flip-flops. You said hello and wished me good morning, and I was too tired to find my hate, so I returned your greeting and walked away.

I slip the ring off my finger stealthily and put it into my pocket as I quickly down the rest of my glass, and call over the bartender for another. As I sift slowly through my purse for the correct change I hear, Excuse me? I turn my head to see the mysFaux
