Even the most anodyne of hearts has its faultline, as soft and tender on the inside as a baby’s arm.

Oh, you can’t tease with one sentence like that and not tell the story.  No fair.

You know, I was in the process of editing that comment, giving the backstory and apologizing—apologizing!—when you called me a meanie.  I am wounded, ‘mouse.  Grossly wounded. :P

So here’s the story:  Old boyfriend has new girlfriend, both of whom I found completely by accident on the internets.  Old boyfriend was a mean dog, and fractionally worth the value of the boyfriend who eventually married me, but back in the day he really got to me, and for a split second, there was a pang. 

The thing is, I don’t think the pang was for him.  I think the pang was for me, or at least for the person I was when I met him.  I used to be a lot brighter and sunnier and openhearted and trusting.  Afterwards, I was just not the same.

[humble apology]

Aaaaah, I wasn’t really wounded.  No apology necessary.  First round’s on me.
