Allysias’ POV
I wasn’t sure why Heather was here. We haven’t seen or heard from her in years. I figured it was best for me to just keep making food. Joey sat and ate everything I sat in front of him, and more and more people came into the kitchen. The one person I wanted to see didn’t come in though. I know everything had worked out, but I still felt in my heart that Cristy blamed me somehow.
James came in the kitchen and started cleaning up my mess as I grabbed the last plate of food and snuck out the back door. I sat at the table and ate my food in peace. I looked out at the forest and it called for me. The dark green leaves of summer and the smell of fresh cut grass. I stuck out my feet and curled my toes in the grass. I smelt him before he came into my field of vision.
