When You Least Expect It

by Haley Cass

There’s an excitement there, but extremely tempered. Like she just doesn’t have the energy to truly show her happiness.

It’s something she’s certainly picked up along the way with Hannah, the way she struggles at times to put into words what she has on her mind. Whether it’s because she doesn’t want to share and is so used to keeping everything close to the vest, Caroline isn’t sure. But she gets it.

It makes Hannah laugh. The kind of laugh that makes any day better just by hearing it, and this one is no exception.

She doesn’t think she’s ever felt more present in a moment than she does, right here, right now.
