she had read it. did she understand ? what was aehrum going to tell me? i got up from where i was sitting and grabbed my sweater from the couch. i pushed open the door, struggling to grasp the doorknob with my sweaty palms, and walked outside. i walked towards the park a few blocks away, where aehrum and i casually met most of the time. the sun had started to set now, since the time had changed recently and the leaves on the trees had began to crumple. the glare from the sun made it hard to see the figure i was quickly approaching, but i knew it was aehrum. i jogged the last few steps and confirmed that it in fact was aehrum.
"hey." my voice loud and eager, which happened often when i was anxious. i heard a small sigh and saw her shift in the swing.
"if you're ever wondering if she kept them, she does." her soft hands handed me a jewelry box.
