He had just completed his training to be a part of a volunteer mountain rescue team and I know he’s really excited about his first real rescue. He’s not even acting like it’s bothering him that much. I didn’t want to make him mad I just want him to feel a little sad about our ruined evening. ![]() I signed up to be a part of the rescue team so I have to follow through with it.” His voice holds mostly guilt, but I also sense some irritation in there as well. He sighs in frustration and shoves a sweatshirt into his backpack. It isn’t my usual behavior and I actually feel pathetic for doing it, but with Adam, it seems to always work… until tonight that is. Why else would I be doing it?

Knowing what I know now, I would’ve done anything in the world for him not to walk out the door. It was supposed to be a night to remember and it was, just not in the way I imagined it would be. ![]()
