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?

'LH + MC' written in a sloppy heart.
i turned on my heel and walked back home.
