Something Like Elena
When I finally shove her toward the door, he startles awake, eyes flicking to me first.
“ See you soon, ” I say to Elena, but I see it, the sadness creeping into her eyes. She really is going to miss me.
And I realize I’ll miss her too.
She hugs me, clinging, shaking slightly. Then suddenly, she starts sniffling like I’m going off to war or something.
“ My Ray, ” she whimpers, refusing to let go.
“ Get her off me, ” I beg, anyone, someone but there’s only Noah in the room.
