To Ghosts & Gravity

Chapter 67

Dear B,

That many sunrises and sunsets. I don't know on which sunrise I lost myself, or which sunset I craved finding me again.

I don't know which sunrise saw the first burned cabin wall. Or what kind of sunsets he's had.

But it was two sunrises ago that I watched Bowen crack and stepped inside his heart. Two sunrises ago, your brother chased me to the lake and dove in to get to me.

One sunset ago when he snuck into my bedroom and told me he was terrified of losing me. He did everything but say he loved me.

I said I loved him, but what else have I done?

He left.

I don't want him to go another sunrise without knowing that I heard everything he said.

He doesn't have to be scared.

I'm his.
