Back at the hotel, I’m sitting in my truck when the bus pulls back up.

I shrink in my seat instinctively, even though the windows are tinted almost black. I watch as the kids start pouring off. And then I see her emerge. She laughs, turns back to talk to one of the kids still on the bus.

But then that kid takes her hand.

And I realize that kid is a dude.

A dude her age.

And he’s smiling back at her. Laughing.

Both of them happy. Like I’m not even here.

It feels like a mule-kick to the chest. Like the air is sucked out of my lungs. It wouldn’t have mattered what I had to say to her back at the elevator. She’s moved on. And she has every right to do that, I tell myself.

Why does it feel like this?

Why does it feel like a death?

Was seeing her in that hallway long enough for me to realize that I still have feelings for her? Despite what she did?

I could sit here all night telling myself that it wasn’t and I don’t. That those feelings died a long time ago.

But every single song I ever wrote for the Coffin Makers had her all over it. She was the muse I always conjured, coaxing every line and every chord out of me like a siren.

And every emotion I feel right now would be enough to determine that it was a lie on Maury.

I’m still in love with Oakley Wells.

Maybe I haven’t been ready to admit that to myself.

Not at any point in the last ten years.

But it’s glaring tonight, illuminated by the streetlights that bounce off of her golden hair with her hand being held by someone else.
