It was a busy day from the beginning. With all the work needed behind sending them off, and still keeping Velvet Lotus open, we had to start very early. To my surprise, Nadia was on her feet even before me.
I helped with packing provisions on the carts, and other necessary equipment. Then I said my goodbyes, wishes of good luck, and a safe journey to everybody departing. Ok, maybe with the exception of one person. Yes, Blue. Then I shook hands of my friends, except Aisha. She didn't find any more time for me.
I was still at fault in her mind with all the secrets I hid. From that point, we only kept growing more and more apart. Now we seemed more like coworkers saying hello and goodbye, then friends.
