ERIK
For a while, Jackie and I just stayed together, hugging away our sufferings; then, once I had no more tears left to cry, I detangled myself from our hug and stretched.

I returned the smile. “I don’t think so, but I’ll let you know, thanks”.

I took the envelope from him, staring at the wax seal that closed it. “Thank you. You may go”.
