I know I’m alone before I even open my eyes. My chest is tight and I have two emotions warring within me. Frustration and hurt. So much hurt. Why can’t she accept us? Why can’t she trust me? I’ve done every fucking thing I could think of to earn her trust, but she won’t let me in.

She’s fighting me so fucking hard on this. The thing is, she keeps coming back. She tells me she’s no good and that she’s trying to protect me, but when she needed comfort, she came to me. Even when she was scared, she let me take her out on a date and make her forget her worries for an evening. She was made for me, and I for her. She can’t just leave.

I’ll give her some time to come around. I need to blow of some steam as it is. I’m in no mood to talk to her, to try and convince her to come back. I’ll just end up yelling at her, and that’s not what she needs.

I roll out of bed and get ready for the day. I’ve pretty much been half-assing it at work lately, putting all of my energy towards Emma, but it’s probably about time I make some effort so I can keep my job and provide for Emma and I when she finally comes around.

My phone rings as I’m just heading out the door.

“Hey dad, what’s up?”

“Roman, it’s your mom.” His tone is frantic.

“What happened? Are you guys ok?”

“She had a massive stroke, son. She’s… she’s not doing well.”

I know it’s bad when my hardened, retired vet of a father breaks down on the phone.

“I’ll be on the next flight, pops. I’ll call when I land in Vermont.”

He doesn’t respond for a second. I hear him sniffle and clear his throat.

“See you soon, son.”

Fuck. I know I need to fly back to my parents. But I hate leaving Emma, especially after she tried to run away from me twice last night. I briefly contemplate going over to her apartment, throwing her over my shoulder, and taking her to Vermont with me, but ultimately decide that would not end well for me. Though she be but little she is fierce, as it were. We’d fight the whole plane ride there and probably land in Vermont without anything resolved. My parents don’t need that drama.

I settle for sending her a text, knowing she won’t answer my call.

I get things squared away with work and head to the airport. Maybe the space from Emma will give me a chance to figure her out and break down those walls of hers once and for all.
