Here.
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but she threw it at me after she texted you.
Before she stormed out of the house.
She left it on the floor, and I picked it up and was going to give it to you to give back to her.
I took the phone, ran my fingers over the spider-cracked screen and hit the power button.
The screen glowed, an almost incomprehensible mosaic of pixels, the apps unreadable.

His expression won of total heartache.
I nodded, swallowed down my own hurt.
It took us about an hour to set up camp.
Dad built the campfire and helped me unload the truck, and set up the tents before we set off to gather kindling.
I walked in the opposite direction, more to escape the painful awkwardness gathering between us, stopping here and there to sweep up some dried branches for the fire as I meandered through the leafless forest, my mind drifting to my childhood.
Before the fractures and the escalating unquiet.
I was heading back to camp when a bit of color that didn't belong caught my eye.
I moved further into the grass, at first thinking that I had encroached onto another's campsite, ready to apologize.
The simple blue dome tent, much like mine, its flap partially opened, the interior dark, sat in the center, looking innocuous until I noticed the ragged holes through the flap.
I approached, stepping over a long-dead campfire, the charred remnants of logs strangled by dead vines, and peered into the gloom.
Jump back to when the dying sunlight highlighted the dark brown stains stippling the interior and splattered across the shredded sleeping bag.
The site had been unoccupied for quite some time.
