Elijah
As soon as we got back, I asked Mayah to move in with us. Her mom was a little skeptical, but Mayah was old enough to make her own decisions. Plus, we still had Jeremy as a housemate. I think it comforted her family to know that her big cousin was around to keep an eye on her.
Now that I’d found her, I couldn’t stand to be away from her, and I dare say the feeling was mutual. Wherever we were, whatever we were doing, my hand was always seeking hers. I didn’t even care when she rearranged the furniture, and quietly folded up my StarWars bedspread and tucked it away in the closet. She replaced it with a bed set in forest green and other earth tones. For the first time in my life, my pillow cases matched my sheets.
She also revolutionized our diet. Fast food was out, healthy
