The day my heart was shocked and broken

I decided to have a bath when I got back. Partially because I thought Dominic might try to slip into my room for the quickie we hadn’t had in the hotel. Oh, isn’t it funny how we convince ourselves that everything will be fine when all signs point to a completely different ending?

My bath was short and unfulfilling. Dominic didn’t join me, and I received a phone call from Brad. I nearly didn’t answer the phone because he was the last person I wanted to talk to, but I answered just in case something had happened to Natasha.

“What?” I snapped into the phone. I was already in a bad mood.

“How are you doing?” His voice was soft, and my heart stopped.

You ever have one of those moments when you remember something from the past and you feel a slight tinge of pain and regret at how things turned out? It’s usually because it makes you realize that you messed up at some point in your life. I try to live with no regrets, but how can any of us have no regrets?

“I’m fine. What‘s up?”

“I was thinking of you and I just wanted to make sure you were all right.”

“Why do you care?”

“I don’t care.” His voice was bitter.

“Then don’t bother calling me.” I hung up then and cried.

I cried for the life of normalcy I wished I had. I cried for all the uncertainty and unknowing. I cried because I knew that Dominic didn’t love me even though I didn’t want to accept or acknowledge that.

When I got out of the bath and looked in the mirror, I realized just how young I looked. My face was red and splotchy, and for the first time, I saw the very real sadness in my eyes. For the first time, I realized just how alone I was, and it scared me. I was scared with every fiber of my being. Do you know what it is to feel alone? To feel desperate? To feel as if the whole universe is going on like normal but you’re somehow stuck in a void of nothingness?

When I left the bathroom, there was a letter on my bed. A beautiful, white linen sheet of paper. That should have been my first clue. What man has crisp, white linen sheets of paper lying around?

The note was simple and sweet:
