She expected the world to turn upside down, at least tilt. She expected flowers to wilt and trees to shed their leaves. She expected time to halt, air to freeze, people to notice. She expected impact. Change. Day 1. She waited for the tears, the agony. She waited for the heartbreaking memories and the deep [...]
