Leilani.
Maya and I returned into the house, that is after receiving our takeout from the delivery lady who arrived two exactly minutes after Gavin left; but by the time we returned to the movie, I wasn't feeling it anymore.
I couldn't stop thinking about Gavin and the words he'd said to me, and I certainly couldn't stop thinking about that hug. It was the first hug we had ever shared in over ten years, and now, it felt weird to think that he would even wrap his arms around my body… that he could ever treat me like I was part of his family.
The corners of my eyes burned with tears but instead of making them fall, I buried my face into a bowl of hot spicy ramen. The heat from the food made my eyes water, and this time, when tears streamed down my face, I didn't bother questioning if I was crying because I felt bad or because the food was too spicy.
After devouring our food and eating some desserts in order to restore order to our taste buds, I picked up my phone and called Jarek.
