ALONE

The front door closed, and I stared at it. I heard the car doors slam, engine rev, tires crunch down the driveway. I listened, hoping to hear them come back. I lost track of time, waiting.

I awoke wearing yesterday's clothes, curled in the recliner Renee ridiculed. The house was cold. Silent.

I should get up.

I wanted to hear Bella's tiny feet on the stairs, feel her crawl into my lap to snuggle, hear her giggle at the tickle of my whiskers. I wanted to smell her hair, baby fresh, feel her weight on my chest.

Anything but this.
