“I’m here.”
Lips pursed. “I don’t know yet. But I’ll find something soon.”
“Don’t care much. Does it really matter"”
Dark eyes sought the stars above, trying to hide an eye roll. The slowly spinning heavens were swallowed in her unfathomable gaze. “It’s not even the same. I’m keeping my word, aren’t I"”
She blew out air in a terse sigh, lips pinched in a tight line. Straightening her shoulders, the angle of her chin screamed her stubborn rebellion. “I told you, I didn’t lie about it.”
“Nothing you say will change my mind.”
“Because you deserved better!” She growled, frustration leashed behind the steel cage of clenched teeth.
Dropping back against the protesting lawn chair, her shoulders slumped, releasing her death grip on the rickety plastic arms. “It’s going to happen,” she confessed softly to the vaulted heavens. “It’s the only way I can make sense of anything. I don’t expect you to understand that, just accept it.”
“Yeah. Yeah, I know. Talk to you later, Ace.”
