Chain My Heart Too, Gamma
“Why do you have to be like this?”
The crowd thins as we leave the central square, heading toward the outskirts of the market. Clouds are gathering overhead, the wind shifting, carrying the first hints of rain. My hand shoots up to my hair instinctively, brushing over the pink strands. I don’t want it to wash off. I don’t have money to redo it. And more than that… I don’t want him to notice any difference.
The first raindrops hit, light, then heavier, and I start to panic slightly. “No, no, no… stay…” I mutter, curling my fingers around my hair. The color holds so far, but every second it’s a gamble.
