The sounds of their lips crashing together is too much and I walk away, as quiet as I can be. I feel restless, which happens when the emotions are pounding against the mental door, ready to burst free and overrun me. Some fresh air would be good. I walk without really thinking about where I want to go, until I find myself stepping inside the Astronomy Tower. It’s like it wraps around me as a weighted blanket and calms me. I make my way upstairs and sit down on the ledge, looking up at the endless night sky.
