Days go by and as I scroll through my phone, I stumble upon Cassandra's profile again. I hesitate, my finger hovering over the follow button, sensing that I am obsessing. But I don't press it. Instead, I close the app and set the phone down, a strange sense of peace washing over me. Maybe Avrielle is right. Perhaps it's time to let go. I glance at the top of my phone's screen. 8:00 p.m.
Jeremy will be here soon to pick me up for dinner.
Cassandra's smile is off. I look into her eyes and then back at her entire face- I see cracks. My heart skips up and I see the shadows there. Despite her bright smile... she is unhappy. I rise and pace the hardwood floor of my apartment. She is unhappy because Gabe is not in her life? I searched her friend list- but he's not there. What the f#ck? Weren't they supposed to be hardcore friends, according to Gabriel?
Why am I thinking of Gabe again?
