"What happened?" My words fell on deaf ears left to echo off the walls, my feet shuffling across the floor were the only things heard against the pin-drop silence
I move to her bed grabbing Michiko by the shoulder her whole body jolting, arms flying around her as she backed away to the headboard, her eyes hazy, her pupils dilated, her breathing frantic till her eyes focused and found mine, her labored breathing slowed as her body trembled
I moved closer slowly, carefully taking her face in my hands and running my thumbs over the freckles under her eyes
"What happened?" I whispered and a single blue tear rolled down my cheek sliding down my gloves and landing on the bed, then another, and another till she was sobbing hysterically throwing herself on me, I dressed light for my date with Elliot but thankfully I pulled my sweater closed at the telescope so her head landed on my chest her tears soaking through my sweater
