I ran my fingers through his hair. It was intimate, but we were intimately close friends. He was truly my best friend, and there were a million reasons why he was—more.

He held me for a long time. When he started to release me, I said, “It’s not enough.”

I walked up to her, wrapped my arms around her waist, and kissed her neck. She didn’t move. I made eye contact with her in the mirror. “Why can’t it be more?” I whispered.
She shook her head. I couldn’t read her expression. “This isn’t enough for you, is it?” she asked.
“I want all of you.”
“I’m not trying to hurt you. I’m trying to keep you close.”
“I know, but it hurts to be this close.”
“I wish it were you, Penny.”

“How what would be like?” I had asked.
“If you and I had ended up together.”
“Life will change and change again. You just have to find a port in this storm. It doesn’t have to be another person, Penny. Find something just for you.”
