Chapter 20 : Staying afloat

• My heart doubled a beat when my eyes returned to rest on him, and I found him watching me, but unlike others, he wasn’t clapping; he was just watching me intently, like I owed him something, like I took something that was his.
• I wasn’t hallucinating when I saw him at Domino’s many days ago. Seeing him here today told me what I had seen was him. He was there that afternoon, watching me like he was doing now.
• He looked the same way he did when I had seen him then and also in my dream. He had longer hair and trimmed beards, unlike five years ago, but didn’t look to have aged a bit since then.
