The sight struck him with a physical force, knocking the breath from his lungs. Gone. Reduced to a stark, ugly stump. His tree, his childhood companion, vanished. A strange, almost embarrassing welling of emotion threatened to spill over.

He felt a pull towards the familiar comfort of his phone. A compulsion to immediately send her a message. He wanted to know her reaction. Needed it. He craved the familiar buzz of her reply.

He rubbed his arms, suddenly chilled. This emptiness, this raw feeling, reminded him of how empty he felt without her. He needed to hear her voice.
