The Cost of the Deal

At the most frustrating point of the negotiations, L exploded into tears. Emitting, too, some sobbing home truths about us. Individually.

Both sides brought her tea and sweets and alcohol wipes.
Then we resumed.

In the wee hours we had our settlement,
histrionics forgotten. (Not including L in that,
hers being genuine.)

I’ve often thought of the things she said, especially
concerning me. But, too much truth is dragging
a useless leg.
