dear mia,
i cannot believe you are in alabama already. i keep checking the map sunny made for us so that i can guess how far you are from atlanta and whether it’s too late for you to swerve around, maybe move to north carolina instead. so many parts of me itch to call and tell you not to go. i do not even live in atlanta. our souths are different. you are leaving to find a home for us. but i miss you. and the idea of leaving home today is hard.
