She misses the past, the ease of life she didn’t know to appreciate. She misses a time when no one was suspicious, when thinking of friends brought a smile to her face, and not a sense that she’d never truly known them. And though she tells herself that a plan like this is justified and necessary, the person she used to be would never have done what she’s considering, and because of this, she adds herself to the list: she misses herself.
