28. Josh was leaving me....again

It was day number four for me at GLFH.

Day number five since I'd last seen Josh.

He’d called, texted, emailed. Repeatedly. And I’d continued to ignore and delete.

As promised, he never showed up on my doorstep. But there were times when I wished he would show up.

My eschewing him only served to make me crave and think of him more, not less. He was constantly on my mind, the second I woke up in the mornings, and before I closed my eyes at night. Even in my dreams/memories, he was there.

My new job helped. Geo Lee did a fine job at keeping my mind occupied. So I craved work hours.

"I think he's trying to kill us," Kiwan whispered across the table. "My God, I'm starving."

I tried not to giggle, but it couldn’t be helped, and we both giggled, causing Geo Lee to eyeball us suspiciously from the far end of the room where he was on a telephone call, chatting at bullet speed about models and runways.

Kiwan was warm and cordial and we worked well together. She wasn't a fan of elaborate designs
