Chapter Thirty-five – Staying Alone

{Delilah}

It’s been exactly two weeks since Damon left. I was handling things well at work, but I missed him, truly. I texted him to check how was everything back in Auckland. He only gave me one-word-reply. Which most of the time were limited in either yes or no.

It frustrated me a lot. I wasn’t free to be specific, but I made time for him. And what I got in return? Nothing. After few days, I stopped texting him or calling him. My patient, was thinning. I know, I should give time to our relationship and be patient. But what should I do or say, when he is not ready to talk?

Like every day, I was at my desk, going through my emails. I realised one thing that most of the time, he will be in Auckland and I will be here. I heaved a deep sigh and realised, how my work load increased. I was losing my mind.
