Last night, I let my emotions and impulses rule me, but I’m still determined to end whatever undefined thing we have. I leave a note beside him, saying: ‘please leave as soon as you wake up and don’t ever come back’.
With one final glance at Colt, who’s still sleeping, I step out of the apartment and make my way towards work.
Work is a minefield. The manager, Mr. Carlson always finds every opportunity to belittle me, scolding and humiliating me for the smallest of perceived mistakes. It takes all my strength not to lash out and to just avoid him as much as possible.
The morning rush is in full swing when I approach a table to take the order of a newly arrived customer only to find out that it’s Colt with that easy smile that makes my heart flutter and my stomach churn in equal measure.
