Tonight?

This silence is stupid

He’s my favorite person in the entire world

I take a deep breath and exhale slowly

I’ve spent the last half a dozen years running from intimacy

If I want more of him, I have to let him in

Ryan turns onto Santa Monica Boulevard The car zooms over the empty street

Thoughts bounce around my head as Gwen fades into Kelly Clarkson

I’ this to myself

I want to show hily Even if they scare him

He ht think less of me

But that’s a risk I have to take

My fingers curl into my seatbelt “I left Rock Bottom because of my mom”

He turns to me “You’ve never mentioned her”

“Because I hate her”
