About something else

We were screaming at each other from across the kitchen table.

'You are late', I yelled.
'I told you it would take this long'.
'You didn't. You DIDN'T'.
'I did'.
'I want to leave right now. I am waiting for you for ages'.

To stress my firmness I closed the buttons of my jacket and walked towards the door.

'You are insane. You are becoming a madwoman', my sister said.
'Yes I am. And I LOVE it. Finally I can be myself'.

I had the feeling she was close at throwing herself at me physically.
Then she did. It was unexpected.
In a way, violence works.

Calmly she looked at me and said:
'So,let's leave in five minutes'.
I just nodded agreeingly.

So far for anti-stress remedy.
