The sky was a bit gloomy, in between bright blue and dark gray with a little hint of sun. Like the weather wasn't sure which identity to take this morning. Whether to be sunny, cloudy, or rainy.
Aaron stood in Katherine's kitchen, fidgeting with the car keys in his hand like a toy. His phone buzzed continuously with unopened emails, unread messages, and missed calls—but none of them mattered this morning.
