The bed was cold when I woke up.
My forehead furrowed, and my arms searched the sheets and blankets for August before I opened my eyes.
He wasn’t there.
That was weird, after so many weeks of waking up together.

I slipped out of bed, frowning when I couldn’t find the t-shirt I’d stolen from him the night before. I could’ve sworn I brought it back to our room.
Maybe I’d left it on the couch.

Plus the porch.
And the single vehicle in the driveway, which belonged to me.
He was gone.
Tears welled in my eyes.
He’d left me without saying goodbye.
After talking like we’d last forever the night before.
