A Dark Road
“I’ve never tried any of my own products and I’m glad I haven’t.
It might have reduced my tolerance for happy.
It starts with walks at night and evolves to lunch in Granger’s room. When I wake up in the morning I lean into the pillow next to me and try to breathe her in. The more time she spends with me, the easier it seems to be to memorize her smell.
It’s the third night in a row now that I’ve met her at the intersection that connects the two fields. Dog and I are both freezing, bu...t I put one of my old t-shirts on him and pull the zipper of my jacket all the way up. It’s kind of funny how Dog lays there so patiently, eating what’s left of the onion grass, while I bounce around counting down the seconds until I see the light in her parents’ bedroom go out from the TV. I’ve learned her dad puts the timer on when they go to bed. I close my eyes and count the seconds that pass, because when they do, I’m that much closer to seeing Hadley’s bedroom light go on, and I know she and I are that much closer.MoreLess
