As days passed, Angelou remained conspicuously distant from me. Although not physically, especially now that we both decided to merge our business, but emotionally speaking. She was still so emotionally remote that it seems she withdrew herself a bit from me. It seems our friendly connection is not as friendly now as before.
Although we still converse occasionally and dined together at home, and I also included her with some of my meetings I had at work as part of the merging, yet the spark from her eyes that once was there had disappeared.
I was completely hintless of what the reason might be behind all of these. Every time I asked her, she would always say that nothing has changed and that she was still the same Angelou who made a truce with me. But I knew deep inside my heart that there was something that had changed in her. The longer I studied her, the deeper my frustration became.
