Hurry Up, Please
I look over at my empty closet and finish folding the last hoodie into the suitcase and stop to take a breath. My heart feels like it’s trying to crawl out of my chest, and I can’t tell if it’s fear or longing or both.
Maybe it’s all of it.
I don’t want to leave. Not really. Not Aiden’s warm hands...
