Deafening tones blasted around us,
merrily. The brisk night
air caressed our
flushed cheeks as we
haphazardly rolled down the windows,
laughing
without any cares in the world.
I couldn’t contain myself
as I wrapped myself in
the driver’s thick jacket.
My cheeks ached with the
ghosts of laughter I hadn’t
seen since
the beginning of the summer.
I wasn’t thinking of home
anymore.
