An Exit Without Goodbye
The travel agency had a nifty feature: they equipped both tourists and guides with locators to keep everyone from getting separated.
Chester barged in with a plate of food and plopped down next to me, gripping me tightly.
He nuzzled into my neck, inhaling deeply.
"I've missed you so much."
He clung on, refusing to let go, and tried to spoon-feed me. "Here, let me."
I slapped the spoon away. "What's the point? I don't feel anything for you anymore."
The spoon, made of glass, shattered on the floor.
Chester squeezed tighter, and I struggled to catch my breath.
