I"m so happy to have my sister back; to be able to talk to her. She"s a part of me and these past months in Floridaland without her have been hell.
Loneliness threatened to overwhelm me in the weeks since arriving in Texas. I"ve barely talked to anyone. They keep their distance.
Someone knocks on the door and I turn, intending to tell them to be quiet because Dawn is sleeping. I forget about that when Adrian pokes his head around the corner. Adrian was one of the Texan rankers who found me outside of the woods. He brought me back here and then sat with me in the hospital all night as I thought my sister was going to die. He just talked to me and held my hand. I haven"t seen him since then.
I rush to the door and throw my arms around his neck.
“Hey,” he says, surprised. I release
