NAGISING ako sa isang tawag mula kay Chloe sa sumunod na araw. She's been calling me for the past few hours and my phone kept on ringing, but I couldn't bring myself to pick it up.
I've always looked forward to her calls and updates. My stomach would be filled with butterflies from excitement and anticipation. Ganoon palagi.
But as I looked at her name flashing on the screen, all I could feel was dread and apprehension of what she'd tell me—not because she'd bring me bad news. I know it's not. I'm more terrified to know that I have to go.
Dumako ang mata ko sa bintana nang marinig ko ang ingay sa labas. Someone was whacking woods this morning. Si Draco siguro iyon.
I rolled to my side and saw the empty space beside me. I stretched my arm over it and felt the lingering warmth he left.
