Decision
I was sitting on the sofa with messed up hair, unbuttoned shirt, and rumpled clothes. My lips were burning, my heart pounded, and my level of agitation was almost reaching my limit. In that state I had only one thought in my mind…

I finally decided to open my eyes after tossing around in bed all night. I was restless and confused.

It had been a week since I had sent a message to Tom… there was no reply. On the first day I thought he was probably too busy to write back, working hard to settle all difficulties. After another day I started feeling anxious.
