Chapter 16

  It was a long dragging evening that led into a tossing endless night. She checked her phone a thousand times in case he had anything to say to her, then dying when it showed nothing on her screen. She replayed that kiss over and over in her head. Trying to remember every tiny detail of how it felt. She couldn’t focus on work or anything in particular. She couldn’t eat her home baked lasagna or even enjoy playing with Muffin.

  Listless. Restless. Agitated.

  She scooped Muffin up in her arms and laid on the couch to rub his soft velvet face against hers in a soothing manner. The lump in her chest and throat un-shift able. She tried to watch a movie and burst into tears when the leading couple snogged passionately, before he told her he really loved her and turned it over.
