Fall (2022)
by deathbymistletoe
Back in the days when her problems consisted entirely of a silly crush and the school crunch, she toyed with the idea of telling Becky. Even a second of considering the consequences was always enough to tell her no, she couldn’t, because she might lose what she had. This is enough, she would tell herself. It can be, it has to be. It was her mantra all through college and after: a running thread from the moment she felt her feelings stir in her breast, through the day she first met Dan, and through and after the week she received their wedding invitation and had to pretend she wasn’t withering away inside.
In which Hunter catches a bag, a truck driver is a little more curious, and some long-quashed feelings come to light.
