Everyone wants to see heaven

But no one wants to say goodbye
He didn’t move away.
He didn’t move away.
A thrill of excitement coursed through her, her mind already spinning out of control, imagining all the ways this could go right. Her gaze slipped to Koa’s lips, already imagining if they’d feel as good pressed against hers as they had all those seasons ago. He picked up a tendril of her hair that had escaped its loose topknot, and her breath caught in her throat at the unexpected intimacy of the gesture. She shifted slightly, as though preparing to lean in -
And then, just as suddenly, he was gone, leaving her cold despite the warmth of the water surrounding her.
Bitter disappointment stabbed her through the heart, something akin to embarrassment flashing in her eyes, and she looked away, heart and mind racing, her cheeks flushed red for entirely the wrong reason. Had she been imagining things, or was he rejecting her? She wasn’t sure which was worse. Not that she’d blame him. The position she was in was a grave of her own making.
Forcing light words past a lump in her throat and shoving all the unpleasant, self-loathing thoughts into a box with all the other guilt and shame she seemed to be collecting these days, she said, ”Tea and whiskey awaits, right?” Tilting her head back against the side of the pool again, she closed her eyes. ”Go ahead and get washed up. I won’t look.” And if it gave her a moment to collect herself, well, all the better.
