Chapter 50 : A future in green waters

*Juliet*

After my parents leave, my emotions are all over the place and they are very conflicting. Happiness and excitement for my future reign over the rest of the emotions, but the sense of sadness and mourning is still lingering.

Chicago was going to be my home for a long time and had been for four years. Everything that was planned for my future revolved around Chicago and the thought of starting over somewhere new scares me. Although, Green Waters isn’t exactly somewhere new.

Spending most of the day in the sun is ideal but instead, the work calls to me. Writing an email draft to my bosses takes a few hours but I can’t get my fingers to send it yet. When the thought of sending becomes too much, I shut my laptop and leave my new office.

The only thing to cure my blues is a nice swim in the pool. The lake would be fun too but right now, the thought of sand getting places it shouldn’t make me shiver. That is not something I am in the mood for today.
