Me:What is it, Court?

Courtney:Tessa is missing you something awful.

My heart beats a little faster, and my chest tightens reading those words.

Me:It’s what she wants or rather needs according to her.

Courtney:Yeah, she said that, but I don’t think she’s in her right mind.

Me:Sis, she’s not crazy. Let her take care of herself the way she wants. I gotta go. Later.

I disconnect the phone, not giving Courtney a chance to reply. All she’ll try to do is convince me to go after Tessa, but I can’t. We started this on a whim and a bold dare. Neither of us knew anything beyond that and rode the wave with no labels. Fast and quick led to burnout and I’m not sure we could ever go back.
