I walk out of my last class on Thursday and immediately study my phone. I still have no messages. Ah! I haven’t heard from Andres in two days, and it’s driving me batshit crazy. Two days with no word is nearly an eternity. Every minute without word feels like an hour. I’m checking my phone like a manic person, and I’ve sent him way more messages than a normal person should. I shoot him yet another text.
Me: Hey, baby. Done with classes for the week. Heading out with Cara and Nolan tonight. Love you so much. Miss you. xoxo
The trees are bursting with colorful leaves in shades of green, yellow, orange, and red. Fall in Michigan is truly amazing. It’s one of those seventy-degree October days, full of sunshine and warm winds carrying dancing multicolored leaves. Days like today are rare
