Drabble Challenge #42

Prompt: key

She says, “I respect your relationship, but I find you so damned attractive.”

I say, “Don’t take my silence as an absence of desire.”

She says, “Why are you always settling for less than a woman of your worth?”

I say, “My brokenness attracts me to those of like kind.”

She says, “I want you to have my key.”

I say, “We must protect others, but my heart is yours.”

She says, “You have my loyalty.”

I say, “My key?”

She says, “Why are you pressuring me?”

I say, “Why are you not returning my calls?”

Her broken self says…nothing.
