"It’s okay, Mom. There were good times, too. Before Serena showed up, Sean and I were happy. I thought we could grow old together."
That night, maybe because of the call, I dreamed of a moonlit night. In the dream, I boarded a train bound for a faraway place. Sean was running after it, shouting, "Gina, don’t leave me! I love you. We promised to grow old together. Why are you abandoning me? Gina!"
In my sleep, tears soaked my pillow.
