Dear Katie,

I felt pain last night more than I’ve ever felt anything before. Maybe it was the guilt, finally catching up to me after all these weeks. Maybe it was the cloud of dread that looms over me since day 1 and it finally comes pouring down. The coldness wakes me up from the fantasy of you being okay. But last night, I thought of you and nothing was okay. You’re not okay, and I’m not okay, and Luca was not okay. I don’t think anyone sane is okay living in this world.

Last night I thought of you and the pain got worse with every tear that fell down. I choked down the sob, tried to silence  the hiccups that’s getting past my lips but I knew that it’s not making any difference. My body shivers with ache. ache. ache. I don’t know if it’s physical or emotional pain anymore. I just know that everything hurts and I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know if it’s me being a sobbing mess, or if it's the hysterical shivering but slowly I felt Luca snuggled behind me. The warmth of his body, perfectly aligning with mine.

The shivers eventually stopped, but the tears never did.
