Roll Against Regret (3d20)
“I’d intentionally avoided the clock and stashed my phone out of reach, because I wanted to feel the blankness and live in it. A bit of me knew it was melodramatic, but that was fine with me.
Someone knocked. I didn’t have the energy to answer. Missionaries, probably. Or a lost pizza guy. They’d get the hint. Seconds later, the latch snicked open, and Jackson walked in. Maybe I should have locked that.
He stopped next to my chair, nothing but concern in his eyes. “I’m so sorry, Pixie. Wh...at can I do?”
Instinct told me to fall into his arms. To lose myself in the comfort, the way we always did with each other. It wouldn’t help, though. Hugs couldn’t fix this. “Nothing. There’s nothing to do.”
“I took the rest of the day off.” He sounded so kind. So sympathetic. “We’ll go wherever you want, even if it’s just here.”
No. I didn’t want here to be a place I was comforted.MoreLess
