One Cut Deeper (2015)
“Charlie’d said goodbye last night while slowly stroking my body with his and told me he wouldn’t wake me when he left. I’d lain awake for hours, determined to kiss him again, even if it was 4:00 a.m. I wanted to stand at the door in nothing but his shirt and wave as he pulled away. I’d stayed up all night before.

My throat ached, a lump the size of Texas swelling in my chest. Alone. After stripping me down to my lowest, basest self, he’d left me alone.

I promised you a list of chores to accomplish each day while I’m away.
