I was sitting leaning against the beautiful acacia tree, allowing it’s long extended branches to shade me while I watched Chris run around collecting different samples of bugs he wanted to show me. He was teaching me their importance in the ecosystem and what part they played. Although Chris had struggled to learn to read or write his knowledge and cognitive abilities were amazing. He could remember the smallest details about things and use those facts appropriately. The more time I spent with him, the more attached I was becoming. It really was true what Hettie said, I was beginning to feel like Chris belonged to me as well. Especially after Andre marked me. My mind wandered to Andre, his touch, his warmth, how had I ever lived without him.
I was pulled from my thoughts
