Day Five -- Arlene Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey Red,I wrote all this back in June. That’s three months ago. The timestamp on this is June 15th so, a little over three months. It feels like three years, to be honest.It was a month on the 11th since I sent that horrible, awful voice note to Arlene and it looked like she listened to it.

Day Four — The No Birthday Text (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey Red,I told you already that I quit the countdown to sending you a birthday text in January, and I did. I just can’t do that to you. I can’t do that to myself. My mantra has to be a simple one: if I love you, I can’t reach out to you. Read more
