Maybe you were watching me and exah.
I always drove to Lowe's as he always had 3 or 4 shots of whisky first. I hated shopping, I admit. He had to convince me to go. Maybe, just maybe...I didn't like shopping with him because he was always already intoxicated?
My exah told everybody how much he loved me. He would put his arm around me and say how lucky he was. He made sure everybody knew he felt this way, whether he was currently sober or drunk.
We DID look like the perfect couple. Amazing smiles and dreaming in each other's eyes. Dancing at the nicest places. He took me out to eat at very good restaurants often.
But Jeckle and Hyde...
he absolutely refused to discuss any issues.
