A wave of frustration washed over him. He felt a sharp jab of loss, even though it was only a tree. He'd wanted to share this place with her. He’d envisioned strolling through the green leaves in the summer and showing her the secret hiding spot he used to have. The thought felt like a lost treasure.

He clenched his jaw, suddenly wanting to run, to escape. He knew he'd been acting erratically, almost childishly, all week. Each time he thought of her, the world seemed to tilt on its axis. He couldn’t seem to concentrate on anything else.

He pulled out his phone, his thumb hovering over her contact. He needed to hear her voice, just to ground himself.
