Ariel sat in her office, staring into space. It was almost time to leave, but she still couldn't get the thought of Aiden's weird behavior out of her head.
She wondered what would have happened between them if Anthony hadn't come to deliver a package to him.
She sighed and looked out of her glass door.
She had skipped going for lunch break because she didn't want to meet people; today wasn't the day she socialized, and what was the use of getting to know them? They'd end up making her the laughingstock in the end.
She watched as her colleagues busily clocked out for the day, going down the general elevator in pairs. She thought about how each of them must have had a lovely childhood, with loving parents and accepting friends, unlike her, alone and scorned in the world.
She sighed and looked away from them. It was time she left.
