the old headlights reflected across the pastures as she heard the same familiar sound coming from the cobblestone driveway, a sound she had learned to completely drown out. but there they were, the same look that made her chest tighten, forgetting to breath all over again. ''i didn't think you'd actually come. we've never been good at goodbyes, after all.'' the silence that followed her words somehow hurt more than any words ever could, her fingers chipping at the old green paint of the barn doors. ''i told myself i wouldn't do this again, pretending we're just.. old friends catching up, i mean.'' she spoke the same way she always did when she got nervous. a breath soon followed, the kind that sounded like a laugh, just to mask the hurt that buried deep below. ''i heard you're back for good, too. or are you just back to stir up trouble again? we were always good at that, i guess. catching up was never the issue with us.'' / @spoiledones
