"Roger?" Tonette questioned as she rose abruptly from her bed. "Roger?!"
She wanted to scream at him. Blame him for the past two days where she stayed up, worried sick about him. But before she could react, the sound of the phone hanging up made her frozen to her place.
Did she hear it right? Did he just say goodbye to her?
But why?
Her sleepy mind was suddenly wide awake.
"What's going on and where is he?" she wondered loudly as she sat on the bed, staring at her phone.
Something pinched her heart at the thought of not seeing Roger anymore.
What is he hiding? Why does he have to go away?
She hated how she gave herself away so freely. How she made herself believe that he liked her and that there is somehow hope they would hit it off. She even introduced him to her friends, for godsakes, and now hearing him say goodbye made her angry.
Why does he have to be so secretive?
