Carrington

I haven't seen Gloria during the past two weeks. She didn’t work any of those days. I didn’t understand what was going on with her, but it had something to do with Maurice. I prayed I was wrong.

I minded my business, attending classes, but I won’t lie. I missed Gloria terribly, and it was like a piece of me was missing.

I was leaving a bookstore one day, flicking through a book, and not paying attention.

/"Carri?/"

I lifted my head to see Gloria standing there. It was a pleasant surprise, making my heart flutter. /"Gloria./"

She smiled.

/"How are you feeling?/"

/"I’m feeling better. You understand how pesky colds can be./"

Then I remembered what her note said. /"I got your note./"

/"I’m sorry it was short, but things were a little crazy./"

/"I’m guessing this has to do with Maurice./"

When Gloria’s expression changed, it confirmed my suspicions.
