CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE ~ FOUR YEARS AGO
Abby: I don’t like how we left things, but I don’t know how to fix it
Graeme: Maybe there is no fixing it
Abby: Please don’t say that
Graeme: I don’t mean it in the way you’re thinking. Maybe there’s nothing we can DO. Maybe we just need time and space to let things sort themselves out
Abby: We have a whole ocean’s worth of space
Abby: I’ve never wished I could unsend a text more. Ignore that, please. I realize how hypocritical that sounds since I’m the one who...yeah. I’m sorry.
Graeme: It’s okay, Pumpkin Spice. We’ll get there.
October 31
Abby:
Abby: Happy Halloween! Or should I say Happy Samhain! You’re probably already in bed, but Drew, Brodie, and I are headed to a party, and I wanted to send you a pic of our costumes.
Graeme: Out for the night with some mates, so I’m still up. You all look braw. Watch out for all the ghouls and ghosties tonight, Pumpkin Spice. Have fun. xx
November 15
Abby: We’ve never gone this long without talking, and I hate it
Abby: I miss you
November 16
Abby: We said we’d be friends forever, but I understand if you need space. If I were you, I’d tell me to fuck off and then fuck off some more. So for now, I’m going to do exactly that. Please don’t hate me forever. I’ll be here if and when you’re ready. xo
