just a crazy little thing



 Somehow, Jay got Lindy to tell him everything. Honestly, he wasn't sure how he did it. One moment they were making homemade flatbread for a chicken stirfry dinner at his place and the next moment she was sitting across from him asking if he thought she was weird.

"Weird?" Jay was practically shaking in his boots. They might as well be talking about ghosts. "Of course not." Although, he looked at her blankly as blankly as she looked back at him. He had to wonder if she'd even remember this conversation. Naturally, he was worried about her.

"Have you ever been in an accident?" He found himself asking. She shrugged as if she didn't even know the concept.

"I don't think so."

He gave her a nod. "Did you play sports? Maybe you had a concussion you didn't know about." Of course, he imagined they would have to be multiple if they caused an issue like this.

"Huh." Now she was stumped as if she might be searching her mind for some explanations. "I used to fall a lot when I was a kid." She showed him a scar on her chin. Of course, he didn't see anything at first, but really close he could see where a small square of skin was misplaced.

Jay only sighed back. Was it possible she'd been abused as a kid and didn't know it?

"Maybe..maybe you should see a doctor," Jay tried to smile. Then he winced. "But you know, that guy..just wanted to get lucky. I bet he hadn't had a chance to kiss anyone all year and he just did it, because you were there."

She nodded.

"Do you feel OK, being home alone?" He wanted to know. She was straight-lipped and finally shook her head, no.

  1. Maybe an examination by a doctor is a good idea.

  4. Que estranho, o que será que causou isso?
    Ela cair muito quando criança talvez não seja a explicação certa.
    Bom investigar.

    1. What's weird, what caused this?
      She falls a lot as a child may not be the right explanation.

  10. I was glad to hear more about Lindy. Even if it was disturbing. I hope her memory lapse isn't the result of abuse. But I'm glad she has Jay to talk to, and that she admitted to him that she doesn't feel okay living alone. I'm very interested to find out what you have in store for her.

    I love the yellow nail polish in the collage. And of course, seeing my florals again, especially backed by such inspiring words. :)
