Chapter sixteen

Gabe

I should call her. Apologize over the phone instead of text.

Except I can’t call her.

I can’t hear her voice.

I can’t know what she sounds like.

I can’t cross that line.

Because I’m afraid I’ll never come back from it.

Tess: Maybe you should put in for a different VA

My heart stops.
