In the car

Amina shifts into third gear, turns up the volume on 'Tangerine',
and I ask her how he's doing.
"He's still with that girl, what's her name again?"
"Omneya" I answer without hesitating.
I'm trying to smile out of the window, but it's hard when all I can
hear is 'Living reflections from a dream'.
I'm fighting myself, fighting the questions I should no longer ask,
fighting the panic in my voice when I say
"Heard they're not doing so well.."
Amina takes her eyes off the road for one split second just to give me
that x-ray, see through glare, and answers:
"Actually, they're getting engaged."
The song comes to an end, my heart breaks into small, tangerine pieces
and I think 'Oh'.
