Prompt: Apple
Two hours. I breathe slowly. In and out. I bite into an apple cautiously. Louis gave it to me.
In and out. That's it.
Two hours until I say goodbye to Louis and Dad, ignore them when they tell me to stay and leave.
For good.
I bite the apple again. It's soothing.
I remind myself that in just two days I'll be in a small house on the beach in Australia with Lysander.
Perfect.
