The distance between us is now insurmountable. “I’d rather stand,” she says, stopping in the middle of the room and folding her arms across her chest, hunching slightly over like she’s cold. “Please sit down,” I say and already it sounds like we’re strangers. She’s here, standing in front of me, and she’s already left me. I can tell that no matter what we talk about, she’s already left me. That there’s something in her eyes that makes my heart disintegrate. Always so damn beautiful.īut all that beauty doesn’t hide the truth I see. Looks tired, listless, like she needs endless sleep. The door opens slowly and I bring my eyes up to see Maggie step in. I can’t honestly say that things will be right again.
I was just so happy she was here with me and I’d been missing her so much, craving her, that I cancelled my appointment and came back for her.Īt that moment, everything between us was right. I look around the study and I remember the last time I was in here. Pike is a lot like me and wants to beat the shit out of everyone that was involved.
The rest seem shaken up but hopefully not traumatized. We hadn’t said a word to each other until I pulled her aside and told her to meet me in here, that we needed to talk.Īpril is okay, only a bump. Now it’s after dinner and I’m sitting in the study, waiting for her. I think I lost her in plain sight right outside that church.
Our privacy and space were intruded viciously, without care.Īn accident, I’m sure, but I will go to my grave making sure the laws change here, so that stuff like that never happens again.īut what good will changing the laws do if the person, the people, that I’m trying to protect leave me?Īll day the distance I tried so hard to fight against last night increased until the line between us became a chasm.
