She; nervous and barefoot, chats to me at the front door.
He; boyfriend, inside's a saint, becoming a martyr.
Me; rolling, writing on the floor, stared daggers pulled from my thoracic wall.
I'm guessing the guys has gone around to the girls house to go and see the girl he loves, but she feels uncomfortable talking to him (I.E "Nervous and barefoot") and doesn't feel comfortable letting him in the house because her boyfriend is there.
