I thought about it for a long time before getting in my car and driving to the mall. Papyrus, the bookshop is called. Lucas works here. In the last two months I haven’t been here, and now it’s almost Christmas, and I want to make sure he’s okay. I want to see him. I want…I want him to come back home. Maybe not right this second, but eventually I want him to come back to me.
I still remember how his pride made his eyes shine when he told me they had hired him. He’d seen the job ad when we were shopping at the mall and immediately filled out an application. I remember my fear, the sudden worry it was wrong, because he had to stay with me, I had to keep him safe. Since that first night when he had been assaulted, the night I saw him lying in the snow and I looked into his scared eyes,
