We were discussing the situation with you and the cops and the Mandy girl and we both agree that you need to steer clear. I’m leaving for the city a little early today so I won’t see you for breakfast.” Uh-huh, he wasn’t fooling me, there was something else on his mind. “ Nothing’s up, I just wanted to see how you were doing. They were giving us our privacy, which I appreciated but I did miss our little talks and mom’s nosy ass dropping in unannounced to check up on me. Since Sian my parents hadn’t been visiting my wing as often as they had in the past. “Yeah what’s up?” He looked around the room like he hadn’t seen it in days, which was about right. “Son are you up?” Dad came into my room while I was towel drying my hair. “I’ll be there to get you soon baby go get ready for school.” After she made me embarrass myself by sending her kisses over the phone we hung up and I went to take that shower. “Aww, that’s so sweet I love you too.” She grinned and the sound eased the knots in my gut. “I missed you too, I woke up reaching for you.” She answered on the first ring like she’d been waiting for me. I’d see her in a little while and then maybe I could breathe right again. I rolled out of bed and headed for the shower. I know she’s safe at home with her family, but whenever she’s not with me I lose my mind. I just wish I could shake the feeling of dread each time she was out of my sight. Taking her home last night had been hell, but she was right.
