"Do you need some help taking that down?” In typical Ethan fashion, he snapped out of it and was now focusing on the wallpaper instead of the topic at hand.
“I’d love some help taking it down.”
We stood up and went to work, spraying down the walls, scraping, and peeling. Most of the morning was filled with silence, but I didn’t care. It wasn’t awkward. In fact, it was relaxing. I sensed that Ethan was alone in his mind, and I was hoping he was working through the inner turmoil that plagued him.
“Do you need a little break?” I asked, finally ending the long silence.
“No, I’m good.”
“My arm hurts.” I complained, expelling an exhausting breath.
"It's actually kind of relaxing. It’s like stripping down a person’s personality and getting to see inside of them. Some pieces are easy to break down, where others you really need to scrape and work to peel away the different layers, and when you do, you might not like what’s underneath.”
