[
Inna's voice made me halt in my steps as I looked up at the pouring rain.
'…I don't know.'
Things are not like they used to be before.
I am not the child that I once was.
Maybe I could have talked about what she had been through.
Asked her if she was alright.
There was so much that I could have say but… I just don't want to.
Talking to her won't change anything now.
'It will just waste our time.'
I sighed as I began to walk towards the church.
[
'Why do you say so?'
[
I paused mid-step.
'You're talking like Gabriel and I were enemies.'
[
Inna's voice was quiet, gentle, almost mournful.
[
'You're saying she might hate me?'

Those words sat heavy in my chest.
