Compulsion (2013)
“I’d had a bad night, wondering what Matt was doing and what he wanted to talk about. I tossed and turned, feeling too hot, so at about one o’clock I got up and drank cold water from the refrigerator. I wandered around my house in the dark and peered into Matt’s garden from my kitchen window. There were no lights on. Was he already home and sleeping, or was he still out?
I was still wearing his bracelet. The catch was stuck and I couldn’t get it open. It chafed on my arm, an uncomfortable re...minder of how happy I’d been just twenty-four hours ago.
I went back to bed after a while, suddenly feeling quite chilled, but my thoughts would give me no peace. My sheet wrapped around my legs and I kicked it loose in frustration. I lay staring at the dark ceiling, thoughts running through my head.
I didn’t want to say goodbye to Matt. Not now, not in three months time.
