The weighing machine

I watched her watching me for months. But I stood unmoving, stoic,
pretending disinterest. She reciprocated, pretending disinterest in my
disinterest.
She came, each day. Each day we played out this charade.
I didn’t give up. She didn’t either.
Finally…… she wore me out. I gave in. I moved.

Triumphant, she announced, “I’ve lost weight!”
