Years later Patrick #1 will tell her that he drove to a city far away, he drove to a city far away and that through all of those cities far away he went to another girls house.
Years later Patrick #1 will tell her that he drove through downtown, over a bridge, through the west side, through two other towns to another city to see another girl that he was courting at the time but had not had sex yet out of respect for Mercy, as if he had any to begin with. He went to this girl's house to have sex with her but instead cried to her about Mercy, which she had no patience for.
He tried to convince her to let him stay the night but she wouldn't let him and tried to take his keys away. He says, in a panic, in a panic, he says, he tried to get the keys back and choked her until she peed her pants. Choked her until she urinated on herself and then threw her down into a snowbank, grabbed the keys, drove off back to the city.
This is what you did to me. You made me choke out some other girl.
Mercy sits with this story. What does it mean to choke out another girl because some other girl broke your heart. Is that like being in prayer, like asking for God?
