70 when

DAN

I am an old man.
I am with her.
She is beauty.
The cat is names Wellis
Our kids are in Oxford.
We write and play piano.

When I am an old man I don't know if I will have her.
I hope I will be will her.
I hope that we will have kids.
I hope that we will have a cat named Willis.

When I am old, I want to be with her.

When I am old I will still think of her.

When I am old I will think of how she nursed me when I broke my arm.

When I am old I will remember Sally and Mia and Phil and Daisy.

When I am old I will hopefully still be referred to.

I want to be happy when I'm old. I want to be happy.

I will learn more about Sally.

But for today,

I will help her.

I will find a way.

Y/N

I need to help Sally. She has not left her room in I don't know how long.

I feel nauseous thinking of her.

I am scared for her.

I don't want to grow old without her. She is me. She is my person. She is mine. Mia is there. Mia is sane. But Mia isn't there. Not anymore. It's nobody's fault.

I need to help her.

I feel sick for her.

I want her to leave her room....
