As we lay in bed in the dark, in between kisses, we talk about running away together. Just packing up, selling the houses, and heading out of Michigan together.

Today, driving home down 696, I noticed an unusually high number of deer on the side of the road - bloated in the heat, their necks twisted up with blank eyes staring at nothing, the blood a dark red stain on the cement.
