Capítulo 3: Chapter 3

“I don’t know what I did to deserve this, Juniper.”

Juniper is my full first name. Most people call me June though, and only use the full thing when they’re being serious.

“Please, can’t you just call me? Can’t we talk about this?”

Jesus. No, Eloise. We can’t talk about this. You refuse to grow up. You refuse to be independent. You want to fuck up, and let me fix it, over and over again. The night I left, I wanted to tell her that somewhere along the line, I had stopped being her wife, and became her caretaker.
