206 — One Word Said It All
He had tried. He loved her, but he knew something was wrong. Her message was said in a whisper, meant just for him. She used a word that wandered many paths. There were many forks in its linguistic road. Depending on intent, he knew he was either going to be "all in" or on the way out. He had always hung on her every word, but this one was challenging.
