I set my stuff down, grab the unopened roll of painter’s tape, and get to work.

“Cookie money?” I repeat. “Like he knocked over a Girl Scouts truck and started a black-market operation?”

What bothers me is one word—October—and the low, yearning ache I feel between my ribs when I read it.

Wait im so confused why is october bad??

The same universe that dispassionately takes things away can bring you things you weren’t imaginative enough to dream up.

After tonight, I’ll tell the others. For now I don’t want to think about the future. I want to be wholly present.

She is def staying

FINALLY

“I can’t.” I shake my head. Before he can argue, I go on: “No matter what you said today, I’d already made up my mind.”

this better be bevause she bought the house and not bc she took the new job

“Not that. I can’t afford that. I found a one-bedroom. Close to Fika.”

Awe damn

You’re wonderful. You’re the reason for the word wonderful. It really shouldn’t be used for anything else.

HAHAAH
