Aspen
I hear Dylan shift inside.
Even in his sleep.
And my body reacts instantly.
Turning.
Listening.
Always aware.
Havoc notices.
I can feel it.
“You don’t ever stop, do you?” he says quietly.
I shake my head.
“No.”
Because being his mother doesn’t come with an off switch.
Even when I’m exhausted.
Even when I want to fall apart.
I don’t get to.
