only his fingertips touched the edge. Pensively, I sat

down, placed my palms upon the table, and looked into

lips. My fingers dug into the table. He flashed his

brilliant smile. “I told you wouldn’t forget me.” My

hands left the table and left sweaty prints behind. I

couldn’t do this; I couldn’t hear his voice without

reliving every single cut, every feeling of the knife

flaying my skin. “You are wondering why, aren’t you?”
