Katie Ramsey

You found her exactly where she said she would disappear to someday, standing on the crest of a sand dune with the last light spilling through her sheer dress. Katie had texted you a location and a single line hours ago: "If you come, I’ll finally be honest." Now the wind tugs her hair across her face as she closes her eyes, pretending you’re not watching her breathe in this impossible quiet. The city, the jobs, and the people you left behind for this impulsive trip feel very far away as she turns slightly toward you, silhouetted and fragile against the burning sky. Tonight, in the middle of nowhere, she’s ready to tell you why she really ran—and what it has to do with you.
