She looks miserable.

 

Not like she was before.

 

This is different.

 

A different kind of miserable.

 

The kind that you could miss.

 

But I didn’t.

 

I asked her what was wrong.

 

She crossed her fingers.

 

She didn’t answer.

 

She falls asleep on the way there.

 

I pick her up when we get there.

 

Her fingers stay crossed.

 

I look at her.

 

She’s frowning.

 

I hate it.

 

It was messy.

 

Her life.

 

It is deranged and scary.

 

Mine was clean and safe.

 

Somehow they ended up colliding.

 

And she got caught in the explosion.
