The ache in Colt’s chest was a physical thing, sharp and insistent. Jody's voice, was currently mocking his heartbreak. “All Too Well” felt like a personal attack. Jody’s words replayed in his head – “I’ve moved on, Colt.” Like he was some old piece of furniture she'd finally decided to donate. Tears welled again, blurring the world outside the truck.
