He left me. I wonder why.

#52

He asked me if they renewed my contract
No.
But I'm staying
And they're finding me something to do
while I wait.
Good for you, he said.
Maybe.
Thanks.

I told him not to hurt her.
He nodded
gave me a knowing wink
like we shared a joke
like I knew he
was lying when
he said they would take care
and care for their little son.
He was right. We shared the joke
just him and me
and when the police came
and pulled him out of the cab
I was sad.
He was the only one who understood.
And now he's gone.
