I Feel So Out Of Place Here.

June Has Never Looked More Beautiful Than She Does Now, Unadorned And Honest, Vulnerable Yet Invincible.

He Loves So Wholly. It Is His Nature. He Blinks, Then Tries To Find The Right Response. "i-" He Stumbles. "i'm So Afraid, June. So Afraid Of What Might Happen To-" I Put Two Fingers Against His Lips To Hush Him. "fear Makes You Stronger," I Whisper. Before I Can Stop Myself, I Put My Hands On His Face And Press My Mouth To His.

Brave Thoughts, But Am I Ready To Follow Through On Them?

I Don't Like Seeing Her This Delicate.

The Memory Fades, And I’m Left Hanging On To The Ghosts Of His Words.
