Paper Faces - 18. Block

"I don't understand."

"Yes," he says calmly, "you do. Don't pretend."

He turns his back, straightens his mask over his cheeks, and moves toward the glass door.

I step in front of him. "Where the hell do you think you're going?"

I relish his anger.

"I'm finished with you," he growls. "Let me get on with my life."

"I don't think you can," I answer, bravado bolstering my words.
