Vienna looked expectantly as she awaited his reply. Maybe this wasn't a bad idea after all. She had waited for years for this opportunity and now she could finally get it.
Silence still enveloped them. To Vee it felt like forever...why was he taking so long.
"I'm sorry Vienna, I can't" he looked away from her.
Vee's heart crumbled into pieces on hearing those words. What did he mean by he can't. Her heart was pounding hard, telling her to try harder, she should explain things. But her mind, her once feisty subconscious was on the floor wailing in pain.
'You know what this means Vee?' her subconscious chipped in. She knew. Nothing like this could ever come again.
"Vienna-" Leon tried to reach out to her but she was already stepping back. She didn't want Leon to see her hurt, her tears, so she needed to get out of here quickly.
In a microsecond she was already out of the house and on the streets. Then she allowed her tears to flow. She really didn't know where she was going, all her mind told her was to keep running. Yes she knew, she knew what this meant.
She was a wreck.

Foggy Avenues | UNEDITED DRAFT
(THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DRAFT, MISSING FUNDAMENTAL EDITS IN THE SOLD FINAL) Des Flores can't hear people's thoughts if they take place presently. She can't predict what somebody is going to say or do seconds before they act. She can see memories and memories only. When she was thirteen, she discovered that it wasn't just her imagination answering questions about people. She could see what traumas manufactured shitty characteristics in everyone she met, which made leveling with people simpler. But it made all interactions exhausting. Her mind skipped to the three-month-mark where every ounce of childhood baggage was already known. She knew the middle-aged stranger in the minivan honked because an incomplete stop is what took his daughter from him, years before. She knew the cashier at the dollar store complimented her choice of nail polish because her wife wore it in high school. And she knew that if people knew of her gift, they'd avoid her. Having secrets was hardly an option. Everything that once was would be invaded by her inexplicit key to anyone's mind. _ Dessie threw everything she owned into her chipped, blue SUV and moved to Port Angeles for the rain and for the peace of mind. For the space to ask questions, but instead, there were too many answers.Complete
