stella went to her new home, feeling as empty as it did. she lay on the air matress in her new bedroom, thinking about how she could get parker to forgive her.
parker lay in his bed, mostly immobile. his jaw clenched and unclenched as he thought about stella.
he looked to the small picture he had hanging on the wall, him and stella sharing an ice cream cone as it melted down their chins. they had been so young there.
why couldn't things go back to the way they were?
