I breathed a heavy sigh; the weight of the now-empty room tugged on me a little.

I guess… I'll just go read a book until Kea returns.

A lone figure stepped out of the apartment complex.

The sounds of bird chirping refreshed my burdened soul, the fresh air purifying my lungs from all angles.

This is why summer is the best season!

I looked down at my phone. 3:44, that's enough time for a single loop around the city before I need to head back!

As I carefully walked through the streets, I thought back to leaving the quiet apartment.

Should I have at least said goodbye? She wouldn't care, though, right? It's pretty normal for roommates to be distant and or not communicate about everything, that's more of a couple thing to do.

Hey, I shouldn't worry about any of this right now! I have a summer to enjoy! (Alone)
