In Our Hands

by Larissa C. Moyer

“Your voice is burning leaves to me, Otis.”

I wanted the guy who noticed everything to notice me.”

“The right girl is going to bring you back one day Otis, and I want you to remember that I told you this. That girl that you meet in the future? She won’t be just a cute girl. She’ll be the reason to want to exist again,”

“You’re part of each other, love. She’s always had a beautiful heart, but you’re her pulse. You’re the pounding in her chest. You bring her to life.”
