Chapter 39: Single or Not Single

I walked into my office, the familiar space offering a sense of calm in the middle of the emotional storm growing within me.

With a practiced efficiency born of years of routine, I settled into my chair, and the comforting hum of the office was a welcome distraction. I meticulously checked my emails, responding to messages with a focus that was not only needed, but also was part of who I was.

Each completed task, each checked box, offered a small sense of control in a world that felt increasingly chaotic. As I finished a report, a sense of accomplishment washed over me, a temporary relief from the emotional weight I carried.

In that moment, the routine of office life became a refuge, a place where I could momentarily escape the drama that threatened to consume me.

It was a sanctuary where I could find solace in the familiar, a reminder that amidst the heartbreak and betrayal, there was still a sense of normalcy to cling to.
