Footsteps were heard approaching my tent before I knew who it was, the footsteps. were so familiar that even without smelling the body odor, I knew who the person walking near my tent was.

Yes… I know I wanted him not too long ago, wanted him to be by my side, but knowing I was such a fool crying over someone I thought had turned away made me angry. Yes, angry that she didn’t tell me about this, but also relieved that my worries about losing someone who mattered were no longer there.

Yes, to be honest, I’m actually more relieved than worried, relieved that the man I thought was going to leave was still there, still beside me faithfully with me.
