In Love

The week had dragged on endlessly for Amy. Lucas had told her he'd be unreachable, busy with tests for some days.

She had known he would be absent, but what she hadn't known was that the reality of his absence would hit her harder than she anticipated.

When the weekend finally arrived, Amy woke up feeling an unsettling emptiness. She had hoped to hear from him, but now it seemed like a distant possibility.

Saturday morning began as usual. But instead of going to the sports complex where she usually played tennis and whatever sports she fancied, she decided to go for a run instead, since she was feeling unmotivated to go for any games.

The crisp morning air usually invigorated her, but today, she ran mechanically, her mind drifting back to Lucas with every step. She wondered what he was up to if he was thinking about her, and when she might hear from him again.
