Iona, new years was like Deja vu.
Do you remember that night? I met you after your classes. I just had time before my shift at the bar. You looked so scared. I thought you were getting homesick and wanted to leave the city and go back home.
You told me you had a secret, a secret you’ve been keeping for a few months… We were having a kid. Of all the secrets you could have told me. This one hit me hard.
You asked me then if I was cold on the way to the subway since my hand was shaking. I told you yes. I lied. I didn’t have the heart to tell you I was scared as hell.
