Unfortunately, among so many other boys named Henley in this world, I am restricted to talk particularly about this one, by law and by order. If so, how am I going to make Oliver understand? I cannot unmake a misunderstanding like this without being able to talk about Henley…
"Oliver, I, uh…" I wish to talk about it, yet everything that comes out from my lips is just fainting squeaks.
"So you can't talk about it, huh?" as I stammer, Oliver loses his patience with me. He reproaches, "You are keeping him away from me, hoping that I will never find out about your other boyfriend."
No… "Oliver, it's not like that…"
"Explain then!" eventually Oliver loses control over his temper. He tosses the umbrella away and starts to yell at me, "Aletris! I thought we were real! I thought we were getting better, I thought our relationship was heading somewhere!"
Of course I know that, because, "I felt it too! We were making progress! And it made me feel more assured than ever!"
