Amara was wrapped in Dev’s old hoodie, legs dangling over the edge, hair whipping in the wind.

Dev sat next to her, vigilant but silent.

Priya opened the door slowly, letting it clang shut behind her.

“Couldn’t sleep?”

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7tsJ2Vsaw

Amara didn’t look back.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZERNvo9pI

“Didn’t want to.”

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW2bg4XPCA

Priya sighed. She sat on Amara’s other side, drawing her knees to her chest.

For a while they just watched the city wake up.

Amara’s eyes were bloodshot, but dry.

“I thought about jumping once,” she said suddenly, voice flat.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFD6o0511x

Dev went rigid. Priya’s eyes filled.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcafIUmDpC7

“Not today,” Amara added quickly. “Not… now.”

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOr2uRjEZ

Dev let out a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding.

Priya reached over and took Amara’s hand.

“You don’t have to promise forever,” Priya said softly.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7QYsoFzKt

“Just promise today.”

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK0Tm5vWOL

Amara swallowed hard.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8NsZb8M6M

She squeezed Priya’s hand back.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wnLPsyyv8

“Okay.”

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Be3PHzRDU

Dev exhaled shakily and put an arm around her shoulders.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLRCoIPeP7

They sat there, the three of them, in the growing light.

The city below kept moving.

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutlOeh8zyG

And for today, so did Amara.
