How long has it been since you were here?
Longer than I intended. It was too hard to see you here, this way. But I still had you with me.
Oh, love. That wasn't me, that was just you. What were you doing all this time away?
I was holding a door. Holding a door closed. I had my back against it, and my arms out wide, because I knew there were monsters in the other side and they wanted what was left of our family. And I held it so hard, I didn't have arms left for the kids. The monsters got through anyway.
That's what monsters do.
