It’s the same time, the same spot, the same detour Jack’s made for the past months.
Every night after work he’s here, thinking.
He wants to go in, see her. But he’s too afraid of old wounds that’d start bleeding again, once he takes this step.
But who’s he kidding? There isn’t a single day he doesn’t think of her, not a night he doesn’t dream of her (and Aaron).
In his dreams she never leaves or lies to him.
Dreams are safe; safer than reality. Dreams couldn’t hurt.
Why’d he change anything?
Spending one last glance at the house, Jack drives home; back to his self-imposed loneliness.
