started to come down harder, the ice was thickening on the roads and I had an anxious puppy in the car. Just a few months before everything was very different. I had a solid job, what I had thought was happiness, and a great home. When she decided to leave my world turned upside down.

I looked back at James and Juan and said “you guys need to leave before you get infected.” They both said insinc “but you will die.” I said “remember what we agreed on?” They finally agreed to leave, and they were gone before night.
