#Chapter9
Stubbornness at its best
Carrington
I considered what Mason and the others said and stayed away from Gloria, but it didn’t mean I didn’t check on her. I worried about her, and my heart ached for her. I longed to be with her, and my family didn’t understand that.
A month passed, and I figured whatever feelings I had would dissolve, but they didn’t. It wasn't right to disappear from someone like Gloria without an explanation. I visited her one night at closing time.
I tapped on the window. Gloria saw me, strode to the door, and unlocked it. I entered, and she locked the door again.
/"Carri./"
/"Hi, Gloria./"
/"Is everything okay? I haven’t seen you in a month and figured you got busy with classes./"
/"I wasn’t busy with classes./"
/"Oh./" She crumpled her eyebrows.
/"I came to visit you and explained that we can’t spend time together anymore./"
Gloria’s expression changed to sadness.
