Wonder If You Wonder (sequel to red string)

13

I did not see you around town for a week. I supposed it was for the better.

yet, thoughts of you were eating me alive, tearing chunks out of my brain and stuffing them in the fire to cook. My nights were sleepless and I avoided my brother altogether, even when he threatened to take me to my father's home for a family supper.

this was a mistake. I needed to leave again.
