I told my good friend Chris off for making a harmless comment about my sister's newly established enterprise. It was silly, really.

But I charged it to that time of the month and he was okay with it.

Okay. But it's true.

And that admission flooded the gates of truths that I had carefully hidden in my mind.

That was a nice release from my pointless desire to keep my reality from being discovered.

Sort of like a contrived mystery.

He's worth opening up to, I must say.
