A Moment (from the car in the driveway)

I was sitting in the car when I heard what I already knew. I had just parked in the driveway and I looked at my phone and K was next to me and I looked at my screen and I saw what I already knew but still, something happened when I saw it, and I don't remember what happened next except that it felt like the pin holding me together had fallen out and I collapsed against the steering wheel and all pretence was gone and I was sobbing and K, she tried to put her arm around me and she said it would be okay and she patted my back. And there was nothing left to think and nothing left to say.

K says she will never forget that moment; how the world seemed to disappear from beneath me.
