Through the rest of Reuben's industrial training, I kept in touch with him, not giving away the fact that I had already chosen to be with Tobi in my heart.
I guessed I hadn't broken up with him yet because I was still having doubts and perhaps wanted him to come back so I could see if I still felt anything again when I kissed him.
Whether I would still harbor the same interest I had in him when we started dating.
In those months before his return, I was still in touch with Tobi.
His surprise visit on my birthday was burned in my memory even days after he had left.
I couldn't help but fall more in love with him every day.
It wasn't something I had planned to happen.
