track #17 : Heavy – Kiana Ledé
"Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent."
————
America took the letter in her hands and ripped it into a million and ten pieces. She tossed the shreds into the trash can before Ace could return to the kitchen and removed her foot from the peddle that controlled the lid of can, so it would hide the mess that she'd made. She pressed the small of her back into the edge of the counter and folded her arms casually when the bottom of his black Timberland boots graced the tiles.
"Hey." she breathed.
Ace glanced over at her and she pulled her lips in to smile softly when he jerked his chin at her. She tapped her fingertips against the countertop and stared at the back of his head. She watched him walk over to the first cabinet on the right and open it. He pushed past boxes of crackers and styrofoam cups of Maruchan Ramen noodle soup, clearly looking for something important.
"Everything ready?" she asked since it was so quiet between them.
"Mhmm." he hummed his answer.
