too long. || michaeng

chapter 4

the lights in the house were all off when i came back. i slipped off my shoes and coat and found you in our bed. your wedding ring was lying on the nightstand, and your hair splayed across the pillow. i turned on the lamp and i saw it - your dry tears and your cherry nose. i'm sorry for waiting too long, baby. it's not what you think it is. i need to tell you soon.
