sleep

last night i turned to her and asked her if she missed me. she tilted her head slightly and smiled. "not really," she said. it was almost as if the thought of how it had affected me hadn't crossed her mind.

"well, are you happier now that you're not with me?"

her eyes grew very large and a look of excitement flooded her face. "oh! yes!"

i turned over and hugged my pillow tighter.
