Chapter sixteen - The will to be happy

Days passed and Collins stopped calling or texting, leaving Anne with mixed feelings.

She was relieved and at the same time disappointed. Relieved because she didn't have to go through the trauma of losing him again and disappointed because she didn't get to talk to him at all.

Why bother at all if he wasn't going to be patient enough, She thought.

She was in the sitting room, viewing her home feed absentmindedly. She soon gave up trying to concentrate and in no time, she was deep in thought.

She made up her mind to attend the upcoming dinner party, promising herself to have as much fun as possible.

Her phone rang just then, disrupting her little moment of decision. It was Daniel calling. She found it strange because he had never called her.

They only communicated via messages. At first, Anne was skeptical about answering the phone, for all she knew, it could be a mix-up.
