I left the kitchen and sprinted to my room. I flopped down onto my bed and my sobbing, mixed with a crying induced hiccup, put me to sleep. When I woke up it was the next morning and the day seemed to have an aura about it that wasn't as tense as it had been for the past few months. It was nice. It surprised
