As Lucy sat in the cab on her way to Tom's house, different thoughts ran through her mind. What was going on? Why was Tom being so cold all of a sudden? Even if her action earlier had upset him, wasn't he taking things too far?
He had not even given her a chance to tell him about her decision to go for therapy before blowing her off. Was he getting tired of her already? If he was behaving this way over the phone, how was he going to act towards her at home? She wrung her hands in distress as she thought about all of this.
She wasn't sure what was going on with Tom, but she figured that maybe he was acting this way towards her because he needed space. Perhaps that was what she should do. Give him space. She couldn't stand the tension between them or the cold treatment.
If he didn't want her to be present at the dinner with his grandfather, then she wouldn't go there. If he didn't want to see her, then she would stay out of his sight.
