Esther felt a world of pain the days following Daniel’s departure.
It’s been one month. One month of pain, anger and nothingness. She lost the will to do anything, becoming a ghost of the woman she used to be. More than anything, Esther felt confused about her Identity.
Between the woman she used to be, the woman she became, and the woman after Daniel, she didn’t know who she was. That was how damaged her encounter with him left her. She wasn’t surprised in the least because she experienced it before.
One would think- once bitten, twice shy- but whenever it came to that man, she lost every sense of reasoning. Again, he came into her life like a storm and left a wrecked version of her afterwards.
Deloise hadn’t called since that day, neither did he. Esther had ample time to stew over how things turned out and what she could have done better. The fact she couldn’t find it in herself to regret any action she took made it hard to proceed with her self-damnation mission.
