Not articulated

Sid had rattled on about decentralization of the governmental social programs for at least five minutes before he noticed Brigid’s expression. She’d covered her mouth with a tight fist and her eyes didn’t leave his lips as if watching the words fall and waiting for the right moment to grab them and run.


“Did I misspeak?” Sid asked, replaying the argument in his head searching for a fallacy.


“Nope.”


“What’s wrong then?”


“Not a thing. I like smart people who disagree with me.”


“But I don’t disagree with you."


“You do. I just haven’t articulated my argument yet.”
