“You wanted me to get my life back together again,” he goes on. “Well, I have. The business is doing fine. Great, even. Sam and I are great. My life is back together, as much as it ever was.” He pauses to take another deep breath. “The only thing missing is you.”

“I made my way down the hall, a hurricane of sadness, confusion over the sadness, anxiety, and fear welling inside of me. I needed to get out of this house before I backed down.”

“Seeing his smiling face and ocean-blue eyes always helped make the day go by that much faster. Watching him walk past my desk to grab some water or take his fifteen-minute break usually guaranteed that I’d lost my spot in whatever Excel sheet I was working on at the time. Daydreams of our kiss would constantly float through my mind, distracting me with thoughts of Jake and his soft lips against mine, his hand moving to grip the back of my neck. It might have been a short kiss, but it had already proved to be one of the best I’d ever had.”

“Please say something.” The last time he said that, I told him he needed to leave and never see me again. I guess I had more willpower back then. I can’t make myself tell him to go away this time. I’m pretty sure I’m going to just have to let this thing happen between Jamie and me. So anyway, I kiss him. In retrospect, it may have been a little bit stupid to kiss a guy without great balance when mine isn’t so good as well. We could’ve very easily ended up on the ground. I could tell he was struggling to catch himself for the first ten seconds. Luckily, he was standing with his back to the restaurant, so the glass of the window caught us.”

“Let me tell you something about walking with a cane: people stare. You don’t even realize how rude people can be until you’ve given them something to stare at. Back when I first left the hospital, and I was still using the wheelchair a lot outdoors, you’d think my hair was on fire based on how much people stared at me. The hemi-walker attracted fewer stares, but it was still pretty bad.”
