    I Am Thinking of You in the Spaces Between

    The notebook is on your nightstand, and it's all that's left of her in the thin morning light. It's tattered—old blue cloth-covered thing, white cardboard showing through at the edges and corners. Looks like it's ridden in her pocket for some time.
