She takes it as a good sign when he doesn’t move as she approached him. Although, he was still silent. What was she expecting? For him act as though things were completely normal between them? To be cheery and kind after what he’s gone through recently? The bread is slowly placed near her and she’s not quite sure what to do with it till he informs her of the butter. “Cool.” She replied, standing still. She could see the side of his face and the blank expression it held. This was a time she wished she could read people’s minds because she couldn’t tell if he was thinking, uninterested, or extremely focused on the cheese he was cutting. Finally giving up on trying to read his thoughts, she spun around and slowly made her way to the fridge. Pulling the door open, eyes scanning the inside for the ingredient needed. Reaching for the stick of butter once found, her fingers gripped the the stick as his words left him. Her shoulders and the corners of her mouth dropped simultaneously. As comforting as it felt to hear the words, she couldn’t help but also feel as though they were a lie. There were so many things she could ask or tell him like how if she was that great, why did he break up with her or that since the day he left her, she hadn’t felt that great. There were plenty of questions she had for him, so many things left unsaid yet she knew this wasn’t the time for her to bring any of it up. He had most likely moved on from it and she should pretend as though she has as well. She swallows thickly, closing the fridge. But it was difficult for her to remain quiet as she returned to the spot beside him. She tossed the stick gently onto the counter, staring at the ingredients in front of her. The silence had gone on again for too long and although, she knows she should just drop what was last said altogether, her stubborn mind wouldn’t allow it. “If I am that great, then wh...” She finally lets out, head tilting as her eyes shifted to the side of his face again, immediately regretting her words. What if his answer to her full question was something that would hurt more than she already was? What if he took it as an opportunity to tell her all the things she may done wrong in their relationship and explain those was the reasons for their end? What was she going to do? Other than recoil and cry. She goes into a panic, head turning back to the ingredients, scrambling to find new words to say, “Am I supposed to butter the bread?” She asked, reaching for the stick once again and peeling the paper back slightly. This time she doesn’t look at him when she speaks, hoping he was in fact uninterested and couldn’t bother to ask her to finish her last statement.
