The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

by Mariana Zapata

“I don’t want someone new. I want you.”

“Touch my wife again and I’ll break every bone in your goddamn body.”

“I’m starting to understand that you can always make time for the things that matter.”

“How do you not know that you mean the world to me? I haven’t made it clear enough?”

“I don’t know anything about relationships, Van, but I know I love you. I know I’ve waited my entire life to love you, and I’ll do whatever I have to, to make this work.”
