-o0o- That morning, in the kitchen I found you making toast and eating ice cream. You were wearing a red sports bra and a tartan mini. "Hey chook." I said. "Hey you." You said. "Today's the day." The toast popped out of the toaster games and hit the kitchen ceiling. You finished your games bowl of liquorice ice games cream. We knew what we had to do. I ate my toast. We washed up, wiped the bench tops and put the dishes away. We kissed. Then, almost to clean your mouth, you got the liquorice ice cream out again and ate straight from the tub. "Hey chook. It's OK. This is what we both wanted. Come on. Think of your parents. Don't quit now." You stopped scooping out liquorice ice cream and you looked straight at me, a tear ran down your cheek and dropped from your chin to your chest. "Come on. You said it to me yourself. Do we have more reasons to live than to die? Can we really say we have each other?" I walked to you and I traced the path of the tear with my finger. Then I drew my finger over your locket and I traced around its edges and I couldn't tell the difference between silver, skin and tears.
