LinkAlrighty let’s see,
Adrian sat on the edge of her bed. Legs dangling down she reached for the phone to silence the alarm. Looking around the cluttered room she smiled. Everything looked so different. Everything was so different. It had been a whole season since John left. The words kept replaying in her head. “I’m done” he said. In the seconds the words had hit her the acid in her stomach had built and she had to move from the squishy couch to the kitchen where she gripped the countertop for support. It didnt even seem real, it still didn’t even though months had passed.
The bedroom had a romantic feel that it never had before. The sheer white curtains draped across the tall windows and since John had left the shades were always up. Succulents housed in terra-cotta pots hung from hemp hangers and the coldness of the room seemed to be less noticeable. The gray walls were brightened by pixie lights cascading from window to window along three wal
