I left the cafè before Evelyn or Elizabeth, and hailed a cab home. I didn't want to go and listen to them complaining about me to Joshua, so I decided to go home instead.
Once I reached home, I went to the bathroom and took a shower, after which I went to grab the ice cream I left in the freezer, and came to my room to indulge myself.
My phone kept ringing but I wasn't bothered about it, as I wasn't in the right state of mind to answer to any calls, and besides I could always call them back.
My mind kept re-visiting the cafè and came up with so many scenes where I had given them more befitting replies, and the more I thought about it, the more I got agitated at myself.
After an hour or so of reflecting on the whole incident, since I could do nothing about it, I decided to let it go and wrote down my feelings in my journal.
After going through a terrible break up, I thought I had found respite in Joshua, but it turned out that my short respite was nothing but a mirage.
