I'm struggling trying to write a scene (fiction novel). I want to know if it would be confusing to write it this way: > Paul shook his head, yanked away. “Sure it is, Mike. You left me there,” he looked out of the window, “with her.” > > He heard Mike sigh. “I’m sorry. Things between your mother and me weren’t good, and quite honestly, I wasn’t ready to be a father yet. We were still kids ourselves." Paul felt Mike's hand on his shoulder. "I can't take back the things I've done." I'm writing from Paul's POV, what he hears/feels as Mike is talking to him. Is it clear that Mike is the one speaking? Or is it confusing?
