The coffee tastes weaker than it used to.
Caelwyn notices it immediately. Stacy notices that he notices.
Stacy:
You always say that.
Caelwyn:
Because it keeps being true.
She leans against the table, arms crossed.
Stacy:
Or because you remember it being stronger.
That makes him pause.
Caelwyn:
You think that’s the difference?
Stacy:
I think time doesn’t get faster. We get repetitive.
Dust drifts through the afternoon light.
Caelwyn:
So childhood feels long because everything is new.
Stacy:
And adulthood feels short because we keep walking the same paths.
He nods slowly.
Caelwyn:
Then nostalgia isn’t memory.
Stacy:
No.
Caelwyn:
It’s editing.
She meets his eyes.
Stacy:
Time doesn’t heal.
Caelwyn:
It lies.
The room goes quiet.
Some lies are gentle. Others erase things you survived.
