PRETEND YOU MINE
Come on, baby.
What felt like acons of time passed painfully slow. I recalled later that I never once desired a smoke while I waited for my girl to message me from wherever she was. I didn't think about having one, or imagine the taste, or even feel the sting of nicotine deprivation. None of it. I'd never touch another ciggie in my life if doing so would bring Brynne safely back to me. Not much of a vow, I know. Pathetic, really. But it was all I had to wager with.
I prayed to my angel for another miracle, and hoped she would hear me for the second time in my life. Mum, I need your help again...
