JUDE
Everything is dusty.
And everything looks exactly like Miko would arrange them.
They took everything from his old room and put it exactly as it was in the new room.
It feels … heartless. To do this, arrange and decorate it as Miko would. Like it was Miko who came in here and arranged it before he left.
But I know he never did. He has never stepped foot inside this house, inside this room, and it makes everything feel heartless.
Why make it seem like Miko would be here when he isn't?
That doesn't stop me from taking any sort of comfort from him, even when he isn't here.
Some curtains drape the windows, and I walk over to them, my fingers running through them.
"Why is everything matching?" laughter. "from the bedsheets to the curtains and the rug too! You have a very blue theme going on here."
"I will have you know that it's not just one shade of blue. Its different shades, my favorite ones from the palette of blue."
"Because you love blue."
