Laura
"Alright, I'm already at work now, I will get it on my way home." I said to Arlene over the phone and I could hear her giggle happily.
"Oh Laura, what will I do without you?" She retorted while I smiled.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing." I let out and we both laughed it off before hanging up.
I heaved a deep sigh as I dropped my phone in my bag and looked ahead.
The soft hum of the elevator was the only sound around me as I stood there, trying to get my head straight for the day ahead. I took another deep breath, mentally running through the tasks I needed to complete. I hadn't seen Jake in days, and a part of me was relieved. I have been intentionally avoiding him, I make sure not to make myself available unless it's necessary and the fact that he has been busy as well as really helped. He doesn't need me as much as he did before the last trip.
