My hands won't stay still. I tear the desk drawer open, my fingers scrambling through bandages and bottles. It's not here. I slam it shut and lean back, the unlit cigarette a sharp taste on my lips. I need that lighter—the one that made it through every ugly night with me, the last physical piece of *you* I kept. Outside, the night is deep and quiet. Years have passed since you left with Geto, since we were just secret lovers hiding from the world. A presence stirs beyond my door. I step out and find *you* there, propped against the wall, my lighter sparkling to life in your hand. My breath stills in my chest. "You kept me waiting," I murmur, and bend close to let your flame kiss the end of my cigarette.
