i gasped for air and realized it was all a dream. luke wasn't a murderer. luke was in love with me and i with him.

i showered and made my way to the tree once more.

this time, luke wasn't there. i was confused. so confused. where had luke gone?

probably to his home, i thought.

as a surprise for luke the next day, i pulled out a pocket knife and began carving our initials into the tree.

'LH + MC' written in a sloppy heart.

i turned on my heel and walked back home.
