Tick, tick, tick. My blinker repeated as I watched for the light to change through blurry eyes, only sheer force of will had kept me from crying. My breathing was shallow and I could tell I was about to break down. Almost there, I keep telling myself. I’d been driving for over two hours, and I was ready to get there and see him. I pulled onto the long gravel road that would take me to his house and it became even harder to not cry, not matter how hard I fought against it, tears were starting to spill down my face. After what seemed like hours but was only about fifteen minutes I pulled up into his driveway and parked the car. I stared
