48 Hours
She treated time like it would always be there-took it for granted, thinking it would wait. Now, the places she once knew echo as quiet memories, soft reminders of what she wishes had lasted longer. She held tight to the idea that nothing would change, that nothing would slip away.

And now she can't tell what hurts more-believing time would stay, or finally telling the truth.
