CHAPTER 12
Leah walked right past Morganâs cubicle on Monday, her eyes straight ahead as she went to her own cube on the other side of Morganâs tan modular wall. The training week was over, and time would tell if Morgan had actually managed to teach Leah enough about technical writing to allow her to do her job. This was yet another source of guilt for Morgan.
She shouldnât have been pursuing Leah in the first place, regardless of how badly every part of her ached when Leah came near, and regardless of how good it felt to lose control in the café a year ago. She wished Leah would acknowledge her, but their meeting at Olive Garden had proved traumatic for the both of them and all morning on Monday, Leah acted as if there was nothing to say.
Morgan decided that she would try to apologize for everything that happened at lunch. She would tell Leah she cared about her but what had happened between them couldnât go on, and considering the way she was giving Morgan the cold shoulder all morning, Leah would probably say that was fine. At least it would be closure â something Morgan never got when Allison left.
But Leah didnât come to lunch. When Morgan got up to file into the lunch room with everyone else, she found Leahâs cubicle already empty. And when she entered the lunch room she hoped to see that sheâd just missed Leah and she was already sitting at their customary table. Anton was there, stealing regretful glances over at Amyâs empty chair, but Leahâs seat was also unoccupied.
âHave you seen Leah?â Morgan asked as she sat down.
He nodded and said, âI saw her heading out the front door a few minutes ago. Maybe she forgot to pack a lunch today?â
Morgan shook her head. âSheâs avoiding me.â
âWhat happened?â Anton asked.
Morgan filled him in on everything that had happened over the weekend. He knew all about her problems with Allison â or at least, he knew more than anyone else sheâd entrusted with that dark period of her life. Sheâd needed someone to confide in after Alli left, and she couldnât bring herself to sully Allisonâs name to any of their mutual friends, so sheâd kept it all inside until she found a sympathetic ear with Anton.
What she hadnât done until now was tell him about how her relationship with Leah was evolving. It felt like a dam breaking inside of her.
âI never should have given in to my desires,â she said. âI shouldnât have kissed her. I shouldnât have let myself fall for her. If I hadnât lost control-â
âStop,â Anton said, putting his hand on Morganâs forearm. âStop torturing yourself. You followed your heart for the first time since Allison broke it to pieces, and you canât feel bad about that.â
âBut Iâve made such a mess out of everything.â
âNo, Allison made the mess,â Anton said. âYou just got caught in the middle of it. Life isnât always about pragmatism and doing the right thing.
