Before You Knew My Name

ariah 

Ruby feels anger coursing through her like fuel. Ash inviting her to his wedding while she could still taste herself on his mouth was a deliberate severing, a way to turn their connection to string. To reach for her body while pushing away her thoughts, her feelings, her heart, was cold and calculated. 

There is no name to be spoken, but I am recognised by each of the women present, clasped around their lifted hands, heayy on their hearts. I am their fears, and their lucky escapes, their anger, and their wariness. I am their caution and their yesterdays. the shadow version of themselves all those nights they have spent looking over shoulders, or twining keys between fingers.
