I wake the next morning to his warmth.
I do not want to get up.
I want to stay here forever.
I don't want to leave this cabin.
I don't want anything to change.
But somehow, I know it will.
I sit up and peer down at him.
I run my fingers through his hair.
He looks so peaceful.
I bring my knees to my chest and stare out the window.
Lucas rolls onto his side.
He opens his eyes and smiles at me.
I force a smile.
He sits up and wraps his arms around me.
I watch Lucas.
I don't say anything.
I am so angry with Christine.
I know it is not her fault. But still.
I know that Lucas is not mine. And I wouldn't know that if it wasn't for her. And if I didn't know that, I could still pretend that it wasn't true.
I don't want to lose what we have. I love him.
I hear a knock on the door
