Baked beans on toast, scrambled eggs with 2 sausages and 2 pieces of bacon. Laundry detergent – the one with the blue fairy on the box, Dove shampoo – silver one, not blue and strawberry body wash. An iced latte with oat milk and no sugar. The words to Supercut by Lorde and Be My Mistake by The 1975. Two red sweatshirts, one pair of blue jeans. the recipes for a custard pie and blueberry cheesecake. A detailed guide on how to remove red wine stains from a white tablecloth. Two bottles of champagne and a charcuterie board made of cedar. A Netflix account with a shared password. A mug with a snowflakes on it with a chipped handle. A bottle of perfume that is almost empty – pine scented. A charger for an iPhone that only works at a certain angle. A copy of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier with annotations. a copy of Dickinson’s poems with pages torn out. The rules to mahjong. A chain with no pendant. A deck of cards with race cars on them, the corners yellow and curling with age. A blue toothbrush with frayed bristles. A keychain in the shape of a horseshoe. A stack of polaroids with unintelligible marks made with a black felt tip pen. Two blue gel pens, one pen from a motel and a notepad with pen scratches on it. Blue-green bruising on the space below my collarbone from wearing a key. An indentation on the sofa. A house with too many rooms and just one person. Two years of memories. My identity.
