Missy Stone -
She has been single for four years. Not lonely. Single . There’s a difference.
Her friends—few but ferociously loyal—describe her as a human vault. You can tell Missy your ugliest secret at 2 AM, and it will never surface again, not even as a joke or a sideways glance. That kind of discretion is rare. It’s also heavy. Carrying other people’s truths leaves bruises on the soul, and Missy’s soul has the faint, purple-black mottling of someone who has held more than her share. missy stone
At seventeen, she left. Packed one duffel bag, a toothbrush, and three books. Took a Greyhound from Ohio to Oregon. Never looked back. That was the last time anyone saw Missy Stone cry. She has been single for four years
