Exes, Kisses and Heartbreak: A Conversation About Feelings

Have you played caco? How is it possible that you only eat salt?

Yes.

Sorry, that sounded a bit cacophonous.

By now, it's become Iago's favorite pastime.

He played caco with his exes. Come on, which ex, babe? With the exes.

“Ex” is an incredible word. Okay, but otherwise they won't understand.

I don't know, but not “ex.” I mean, there's nothing there about bothering me.

I said, “Sorry, I wanted to ask something out of curiosity because yesterday we were talking about how they could hear each other while they were doing it. Ah.

That it bothered you, that it bothers you when they kiss.

I asked how she can play with it if it bothers you.

The way I am, I wouldn't be able to. You wouldn't be able to?

And she explained her point of view. What do you mean?

It's still a little raw. It's good. I mean, my love?

What do you think? Eat the sauce anyway.

Babe, I've processed the whole thing. I told you, I explained it to you yesterday too.

A second time, when it was just you and me, Chia. Yeah, yeah. No, I got that.

There's nothing more I can do, I mean… No, I was just curious, babe, because you talk more with Chiara, you know?

I know you less. There was no real involvement on either side.

So, surely…

Like hell you didn't choose me, I'm proud of that too.

Just think, like hell you didn't choose me, you both made a fool of me, go fuck yourselves.

I mean, that's what I think, you know? So this one still has to…

So I'll wrap this up for a second. A little salt. Those little sandwiches are so good!

So, if one of the two had been the— the actual person I'd been with for a long time, So obviously, I tell them to go to hell, you know where.

But in the end, I was never with anyone.

You get it?

No, you haven't been with anyone, but you got involved with someone, I mean, you were hurt, you cried.

Yeah, babe, but you know when you see things and realize?

You say, "Enough." Actually, this thing, for me— paradoxically, it's what helps me most.
