The annoying hum of the broken air conditioner does nothing but distract. As my head cools, I try to settle in on what it really is that has me frozen. I know what I don't want it to be. There is in fact something that I hope it can't be; all the while knowing precisely what it is that is distracting, that gives me chills, that leaves me needing rescue. I miss her.
