Inconsistencies

His mother doesn't know about me.

I realize this as we are at dinner, and she calls to ask what he is doing.

I feel slightly ashamed, as though I am a dirty secret, something he hides, I know in that moment what my only purpose is to him. And I know that without it, I have no other place in his life.

Two days later he brings me food for my pet turtle, and meets my children.

I feel like the ball in a ping pong match; first high, then low, but always being abruptly smacked into position.
