Complicated Feelings
Whenever Christopher thought back to Joan, he felt his heart physically ache. As such, he always did his best to not think about her, which usually consisted of him distracting himself through various tasks and burying those feelings away.
However, despite his best efforts, the thoughts still resurfaced from time to time, like now.
And they were particularly fierce this time.
A myriad of emotions ran through Christopher at that moment, but the most significant ones were confusion, loss, anger, hope, and bitterness.
He felt confused because he simply couldn't understand why she did what she did.
From the get-go, she had been such a sweet and upfront girl and never bothered to hide her feelings. If she wanted to say something, she would say it. She couldn't be said to be blunt, but she was definitely honest and practically wore her heart on he sleeve.
