Watching What I Say

I know that anything I say to Melanie right now can and will be used against me all in good time. That, my friend, is why I am injecting sugar into my every word when I speak to her. I am going so far as to suggest to myself that she’s only fraternizing with me for the sole purpose of getting me to say something mean to her or about my friends. But it won’t happen because I have nothing mean to say.
