We stayed like that for a while, just two broken pieces trying to fit together under the moonlit sky, the sound of waves crashing gently behind us. When we finally pulled apart, her eyes stayed closed for a second longer, as if holding onto the feeling. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, unsure of what came next.
