Dave: Devil in Her Heart

It was just yesterday.  Or the night before.  I saw her standing there at the party.  Misery welled up.  I walked over, tried to act naturally as I asked, "Do you want to know a secret?"

She looked me over, and snorted.  "Don't bother me."

"It won't be long."  I glanced around us.  "Noisy here.  There's a place --"

The girl shook her head.  "Boys," she said to another girl. 

"Tell me why."  I waited. "I need you."

No reply.

"I'll cry instead. I don't want to spoil the party."

"Cry, baby.  Cry."

"I want to tell you --"

"Good. Night."

And that, clearly, was the end.
