[ his grip disappears and for a moment, she feels as if all the air in her chest has evaporated. she sighs, passing it off as a breathy laugh, and swipes away a bit of lingering nothingness from his shoulder. ]

Sometimes it feels like we aren't meant to.

[ she stops, tilting her chin backwards to look at the expanse of stars clearing against the darkness. ]
