Sofia waited until she was sure Jono wasn’t going to come back inside. Quietly, she picked her way down to the water’s edge, where she found Jono glaring in the general direction of the mainland. He didn’t look up even when she sat down next to him. “Coming here was a mistake,” he finally said, raking a hand through his hair. “So stupid,” he muttered to himself.
“So you’re going to leave?” Sofia asked. “After coming all this way?”
“They look so damn happy, don’t they.” Jono looked up, meeting Sofia’s eyes. He looked… weary. Resigned. Sofia looked down, folding her hands in her lap.
“You still love her?”
Jono sighed, looking up at the dark sky as if it could provide him with some kind of answer. “Maybe it’s just wanting what I can’t have. I fucked things up with her bad, but we never really had closure.” He snorted and rolled his eyes. “And I’m a wee bit pissed,” he added.
“Pissed angry,” Sofia asked, “or pissed drunk?”
“Mostly the latter.” He leaned over, resting his head on her shoulder. “I’m leaving on the next boat out. Can’t do this, so I’ll just run away again.” Jono sighed again. “Always running away.”
Neither of them noticed that Julian Keller had followed them out, and was watching them silently as Sofia put an arm around Jono’s shoulder and kissed the top of his head. He never said a word, just turned around and went back inside.
