A weekwent by in a blur. Kim and Carl were simply co-existing. It was finally time for Kim to return to school.
Although it was time, she felt leaving would only increase the distance between them. Frankly speaking, that's not what she wanted. She wanted to get closer to him but he would return late from work then when he wasn't at work, he was working in the basement, she could only watch from a distance. Too scared to approach him. Too scared to distract him from his work.
Finally Sunday afternoon arrived. School would officially resume on Monday and she should have been to school to settle some things but she used the excuse of her shoulder to remain at home while Isabella ran errands for her.
Isabella only agreed so she could see Carl again. Unfortunately, he returned home late because of Chamberlain so there was no meeting him. But at least she was closer to his "sister".
"Aren't you returning to school?" Carl asked as he found it strange.
