“Sorry about that,” she said as she stood by the window watching the snowflakes twirl and spin in the evening air.
“No worries. I’ll let you have your dinner. I gotta get over to Kendra’s. I promised to take her and the boys to Woodhouse Pizza.”
“I wish I was with you,” she whispered.
“Me too. I love you, babe.”
“I love you. Bye.”
Emptiness filled all the nooks and crannies inside her, shutting out the light, pushing her down, choking her. She turned off the computer, switched off the lamp, and lay on the bed, tugging the covers over her head. Shrouded in silence and darkness, she let the memories of Paco fill her mind and ease her pain.
I miss you too much. If you asked me to come back, I’d be there in a heartbeat. Oh… Paco.
