My forever’s end quickly

I have always kept a stack of library books next to my bed as a lifeline. If I ever woke in the middle of the night too scared to move or too sad to roll...

Ariella was silent, and I reached out to take her hand, squeezing as if it were a lifeline, holding me to sanity.

I think I was his lifeline too. We were both adrift in New Your City. We were both surrounded by so many people, but ultimately we were terribly alone. Until we found each other.
