Brother's Friend Becomes My Baby's Dad
I hovered just above his glowing skin, trying to imagine Asher’s warmth.
I felt nothing, of course.
Accidently, my thumb twitched and it vanished beyond the lines of the apparition, disappearing under the skin for just a moment. But it had been enough to remind me this wasn’t real.
My apparitions couldn’t feel or touch or give off heat. It was an illusion, and I was a masochist for making it stay.
For holding onto Asher when I should let him go.
Lamar was nice. Courteous and patient. If I focused my heart on him instead, maybe I would have a chance at happiness, however slight.
