30. Cal

After the full moon, I lie in my lonely bed and replay every precious minute, pad in hand.

My simple sketches are random snatches of thoughts. Just the curve of her shoulder, the way her hair falls. I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but I'm trying.

I kid myself it's good practice. A way to pass time. Rather than admit the truth. I'm preparing myself something to remember her by when this Freeze is over.

After all, out of sight is out of mind. We both know that when Ryan stands in front of her, it could all disintegrate.

I might be a fool for her, but I'm not naive.

As the week wears on, it seems like Hope and I got away with it. Which only seems to give Vera the impression she has a chance.

The leaders and pilgrims were all tucked up sound asleep whilst we found each other. Vera thinks I was shut away in the cells alone. Pining for female attention.

Unfortunately, she's promising to make sure I'm not lonely next time.

I need to wriggle out of that one promptly.
