I packed up and headed to my car after another grueling week at the academy. Just a couple more weeks to go and I would graduate. At first, I thought it a curse that I got into the academy when I did. Things had started to get weird between Remi and me. So, the fact that I was hardly home now and, when I was, I was completely spent, I thought it would only make things worse. Instead, it worked to my advantage.
I was beginning to feel too crazy about her, too anxious about seeing her again. I was probably beginning to suffocate her. Between her new schedule at the new hospital she was now employed at as an RN and me being in the academy, it was like we had to take a step back. It turned out to be a good thing. While I still felt anxious when I hadn’t seen her in days, when I did get to, she seemed just as excited to see me.
