Hush

I saw her long before she ever saw me.

She'll tell you we met by chance.

She'd be wrong.

I know the sound of her laugh. The route she takes when she's had a bad day. The way she bites the inside of her cheek when she's anxious. I know the coffee she'll order before she reaches the counter and the songs she'll skip before the chorus.

She has no idea she's been the center of my world in the worst way.

Finding my sister has been my only purpose for years.

Until now, until her.
