“I had it long when I was younger. Not as long as yours, but down my back. Cut it off for a long time when I was enlisted.”
For obvious reasons. And then he grew it out because there hadn’t been any reason not to by the end.
“Leah’d cut it sometimes.” He huffs a little. “She wasn’t great at it. I bet yours’d look nice with flowers in it.”
