Avoidance

"I wasn't mad at you," Katie says. "I was just trying to hear the dialogue without reaching for the remote, because you kept talking over what seemed like crucial parts."

I remember a friend of mine, from years ago, when we would ride in his car up to New Hampshire together. I would always try to get him to listen to these amazing songs and he would always talk over the best parts, and now I wonder if maybe, like me, he chatted over the good parts because he didn't want all those uncomfortable emotions, or if he just wasn't paying attention.
