The gears in my brain grind to a halt.
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
And it makes all the sense in the world.
Looking back, it's obvious.
As clear as day.
The real question is how the hell I missed it again.
When I finally manage to move, I go straight to my cell.
Get her voicemail.
"Hey, you've reached Josephine Langford. I'm not here right now, and honestly, I probably won't check this. Text instead. And don't even think about uttering the words 'Hey there, Josephine' if you want a return call."
The same message.
The one she had the day I met her.
The day she left.
When I close my eyes, I see it. The note lying on the kitchen table.
Her usually neat handwriting a shaky mess.
Her signature a tiny, erratic line.
Like she was trying to take up as little space as possible.
I try to move backward. To see the weeks before that. The signs.
But I can't.
Only that last morning.
The look in her eyes when she said goodbye.
The one that's been haunting me for seven hundred fucking days.
A mix of peace and regret.
Then the one I saw twenty minutes ago.
Her heart breaking.
No.
I'm not using passive voice here.
Her heart didn't break.
I broke it.
She may want nothing to do with me.
But I'm not letting her shoulder this anymore.
Not alone.
