My stepdad's fantasy
The snow kept falling for three straight days, turning Chicago into something soft and quiet and new,It felt like the city was trying to bury the old memories under layers of white I woke up slowly that third morning, Julian’s arm still heavy across my waist, his breathing steady against my neck and for a long moment I just lay there listening there were no sirens in my head neither was there aphantom camera click it was just the distant sound of little feet in the hallway and Sofia’s excited whisper or should I say shouts which today was the most quiet whisper they knew
