"If I had hit Frollo in that moment......"
Ralph didn't immediately finish his sentence and instead thought back to that time. He had still been working for the BPD then and had asked Elsa out on a date as a friend. She had said yes and the first part of the evening at dinner had gone perfectly. During that time, it seemed like they might really have something in common, that they might even be more than just friends. Perhaps, just perhaps they had real feelings towards each other.
However, when the second part of the evening at the movies had started to draw towards an end......that was when everything had gone wrong. They had finished the movie and were walking together down the streets hand in hand. Ralph had suggested they stop by a bar to grab a drink and Elsa had started to respond when who should have appeared on the scene? Follo.
He tried not to recall what had happened next but he knew that was the whole reason for their current situation. They had seen things in the other then that they weren't ready to deal with. Elsa hadn't listened and attempted to force Ralph into acting how she wanted. And he...
"You're right, Elsa. I got angry, but it was worse then that. I let my anger control me and turn into something dangerous. It was just a spark of annoyance I should have let flicker out and instead, I fed it until it was a wildfire."
The words were drawn from him almost against his will and yet he forced himself to continue speaking. It hurts to admit you've been wrong, to acknowledge your faults and accept that you've made mistakes.
"And if I really had hit Frollo then.....I might have killed him."
Ralph turned his head towards the dirty sidewalk as he said this, as he admitted that his anger that time had gotten so bad he might have killed a man. And for what reason? He closed his eyes at the shame of it all but also the lingering feeling that he had a right to be angry. Didn't he?
