Every day I spend with Sebastian it feels less realistic to keep hiding from him behind the wall I built to safeguard my present from my past. He wants to know me, every part of me, and I want him to, but I’m also scared. Scared that a conversation about my parents will lead to one about Beau and that speaking his name will conjure him like a dark spirit, bringing him straight to New Haven, straight to my doorstep. “Not today.”
