Steve didn't want me to bring it. I hate being wrong, especially this wrong. I'd have cut my hair months ago, but Micah said if I cut mine, he'd cut his, the threat had left me with the longest hair of my life. I didn't say it, because it would have been too obvious, and too cruel.

Going to bed with you beside me is the best idea in the world right now, but going to bed without you is like the worst idea in the world.
