He was supposed to be home hours ago.
Why don’t we have cell phones? I could call him, see where he is.
Don’t be silly. He’ll be here soon.
Maybe I’ll just take my bike out, take the route he takes.
What if he’s injured.
Oh god.
Don’t be silly. He’ll be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Be here soon.
Soon.

The day started like any other. Waking up twenty minutes late, making tea, feeding the cats. She curls into a blanket, the pain reaching down into her leg. Relaxation can only take up some much of one’s time. Soon enough, she will have to get up. He is at school, but she won’t get to see him until late tonight, when they are both home from work. She has the mornings to herself. Relax.

Its after midnight. I have dreams you know. Regardless.

The day started like any other. Waking up twenty minutes late, making tea, feeding the cats. Who is this new person before me? His eyes, dark. Are we that far apart. Is he still in there? My heart races, he knows that I am scared. Scared of him. Scared for what has happened.
I want to join you.
Become you.
For the first time since your return, I see a fragment of your former self. You smile.
I was hoping you would say that.
