-------- for a moment she’s sure she misheard him. imagining s t a t i c in the line and her own mind filling in the words. he’s closer now, she can feel it in her bones. the familiar hum of his car in the background growing louder as he speeds up. for a moment she’s back in that car beside him. nervous about the speed but so sure of her safety. so sure of him. bella’s stomach turns as it has every night since she left. why did she ever leave. it took m o n t h s for her to reach out, and it was in the middle of the night woken after being up by a nightmare she could barely remember now.
there was only instinct in the moment that she dialed his number. and relief when he answered. but what hit the hardest was the surprise she felt when he said he’d come when she asked. maybe he could hear just how much she n e e d e d him no matter how she’d tried to keep her voice steady.
they’d stayed on the line. talking about nothing. letting silence fill the broken spaces between them. it had been so q u i e t for a few minutes now that she almost startled at his voice. unsure how to answer what seemed to be a stray thought that wouldn’t stay put. ❝ would i still be in your dreams anymore ? ❞ bella questions softly as she curls tighter against the arm of her couch, letting the throw blanket all but s w a l l o w her whole.
