Joan looked at the red colored numbers on the oven to see what time it was. He's late. She had known asking him over was a mistake, too much had occurred since they last spoke. Things that shouldn't have been said and things that should of. Not that it mattered any more, at least not to her. The past three years she tried to forget burry her past and those who broke her soul. Ones life is never the same once it's marked on public documents that they were committed for severe delusions. The tip toeing around, in fear someone might think any behavior not completely normal is a reason to lock you away again. Joan lost friends, broke her family apart, and lost her soul. But she never blamed God. After all He was right it's all about free will. No one made her tell. No one made her father close his heart.
"Hey Jane." He had entered without knocking, her heart pounded in surprise.
"Hello Adam I thought you weren't coming." He looked the same, as did she, but they weren't the same.
"Sorry traffic, nice place." Suddenly the mistakes they created by his uncertainty of how to handle her secret. The lack of patience to give him time to adjust. All disappeared in a few words. Joan felt her soul starting to heal.
