did.”
    Renee attempted to turn the blame on Joel. He picked up on her trick and shook his head in disbelief. He laughed. “You’re right. I didn’t ask, but I was about to.” Joel put on a fake melodramatic voice and asked, “Why? Why, Renee? Is Robert’s dick bigger than mine?”
    Renee replied, “Typical male response. It had nothing to do with dick size. It’s about how he treats me compared to how you treat me.”
    â€œWhoa, that’s funny. You just said how he treats you. Don’t you mean how he treated you? I mean, since things only got a little heated and out of control once.”
    â€œThere you go analyzing me again. I see Robert at work on a daily basis, therefore treats was used in its proper tense, thank you.”
    â€œWell, how exactly does he treat you?”
    Renee answered calmly, “With respect and very gently. He isn’t all rough and overly aggressive like you.”
    Joel burst out laughing. “Shit, sounds like you and that nigga did a lot more than get a little heated and out of control. And listen to you, talking about I’m rough and overly aggressive. What about your damn whip appeal last night? I bet you whipped it on him, too.”
    â€œWhen it comes to me and Robert, you can say and think whatever you want. And give me an f-ing break. I didn’t hear your ass complaining last night about, as you call it, my damn whip appeal.”
    Joel had reached his boiling point. “You’re right. You know what? I don’t have time for this anymore.” Joel paused and took a deep breath. “So, I’m gonna say that this right here, is officially over. We’re done! Consider your walking papers signed and authorized, so you can step any time you get ready.”
    â€œDon’t make me laugh. I hope you don’t think it’s over because you said so.” Renee laughed out loud. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s been over!” She sucked her teeth and threw her hand at Joel. “I don’t have time for this either because you’re making me late for work.”
    â€œGo ahead to work. And you better tell that bitch Robert that I figured y’all out.”
    â€œHe doesn’t care about you or what you figured out.”
    Joel squinted with anger. “Hold up, he actually knows about me? Because if he knows about me and is messing around with you ...” He stopped himself, changed his thought process and let out a heavy sigh. He shook his head and said, “That’s all right because you aren’t even worth going to jail over. I’d be in jail and the two of you would probably be up in here calling out each other’s names and shit.”
    Renee used her usual sarcasm and carelessly added insult to injury. She shrugged her shoulders and said, “I wouldn’t doubt it.”
    Joel’s anger level and blood pressure peaked, and then quickly dropped back down within normal limits. With a straight face he said, “I hate you.”
    â€œThe feeling is mutual.” Renee held up her left hand and paused. She felt her emotions getting the best of her. There was a tiny burning sensation in her nasal passages and a stinging in her eyes that made them water. “No, I’m not gonna sit here and say that I hate you, because I sincerely love you. I love you, Joel.”
    This was the same dramatic breakup scene that had been repeatedly playing in Joel’s mind—the same scene that he had been trying to avoid for months. He hated when emotions flew high between him and Renee. He felt her words I love you, right in his heart making him realize that he loved Renee. After all that had happened, he stood there wondering why he still loved her so much. His mind raced. He began sifting through the sands of time, searching for something meaningful to hold on to. Sadly, everything just seemed to be slipping away. Hundreds of short but significant moments
