I park my car at the driveway of her apartment.
From here I can see her window; her lights are on so she is home. I hadn't calculated the drive because it's a quarter past 7. I shouldn't be showing up at this time after a long time, it's not fair to her.
I key in the ignition, and I look at the window again. I see a silhouette of a man, and then Gigi. They are talking, laughing … it must be her boyfriend with the way they are touching and behaving. Even from outside the window, I can see that she is happy.
I should leave. I hadn't thought this through clearly and right now, the timing is not right. The engine purrs and I can't help but look up one last time. She is looking right at me.
Shit! I'm about to pull off but a car is approaching, so unless I want to cause an accident, I should wait. This is not how I thought it would go, this is all going so wrong. By the time the car passes, I see her opening her front door and is running towards me.
