Straws of Destiny
I closed my eyes, my heart aching.
Mick, Amanda, and Carla took Simon overseas to watch a soccer match.
They soaked in hot springs and rode in a hot air balloon.
They went grass sledding.
They did every single thing they had once promised to do with me.
Countless times during that month, I tried to leave. But it felt as if my soul was trapped beside them. No matter what I did, I couldn't get away.
Soon, it was the end of the month again.
Simon sat on his bed, looking at them reluctantly.
