“But your truck is history. So
is Mammoth. And what about us?”
I don’t care about my truck.
Don’t care about Mammoth.
All I care about is you. If any-
thing bad would have happened
to you, I would never have forgiven
myself. This is all my fault.
“No it’s not. Anyway, nothing bad
happened to me. You’re the one
with the broken bones, remember?”
He smiles. Hard to forget. Except
when they want to hold you.
Kind of like now, for instance.
My entire body heats with a warm
flood of love. But the truth of things
tempers it. “What will happen to us?”
He quiets me with a kiss. I don’t
know. But whatever happens, I swear
we’ll still be together. Somehow.
WE LEAVE THE “HOW”
To the future.
Settle for being together
right now. In this moment.
I’m pretty sure
I won’t see him again for
a while. Maybe a long while.
We’ll celebrate
Christmas safe and warm,
at least. Not buried by snow.
