"So you're saying you're an actual angel? From...Heaven." I asked him.

"H-Hello?" My hand shook, waiting for a voice.
"Juniper!" Dad's voice was raspier.
Isn't it just so infuriating that some people put others through so much...just to randomly act like nothing ever happened?
Just to act like everything was always...okay?
No, no, I'm not taking this.
"What do you want?" I rolled my eyes, trying to lie to myself and say this didn't hurt.
