“ken?”
“yeah?”
“i love you”
“i thin — i love you, too”
“i had to say it”
“me too”
my heart was pounding out of my chest. i couldnt do it, and then it just came out.
i feel uprooted somehow.
when would he have said it?
why did i feel the compulsion to say it?
i left our cocoon to return tim’s call on the way home
he didnt pick up.
