The translation comes up, and I swear the entire building can hear me gasp when I read over the words on the screen in my head.

I’m sorry.

Please forgive me, flower.

-D

I don’t know how long I sit staring at the screen, but I know it’s longer than I’d probably care to admit. Not only did he sign it D, but he also used the nickname he gave me. The one that holds a special place in my heart.

I need to call Gia. Lifting my bag, I rummage through it, trying to dig out my cellphone.

Why the hell are there so many pockets in this purse?

I finally pull it out and see a photo Gia sent through earlier, and the smile on my face makes me forget every ounce of anger I had. I gently stroke a finger over the picture on the screen before scrolling and hitting dial on Gia’s number. Thankfully, she answers almost right away.

“Hey. What’s up?” she asks in her perky voice.

“Oh, nothing. I just wanted to check in and see how everything was going today.”

The urge to run out of here and go straight to Fabi and Gia’s house is almost overwhelming right now. Tears form in the corner of my eyes, the mixture of emotions starting to become too much.

“You sure you’re okay? You sound upset?”

She always knows. Damn it, Gia.

Letting out a deep breath, hoping to alleviate some of these feelings, I tell her, “Yeah, I’m sure. Just wanted to check in.”

“Everything is fine. I promise,” she reassures me.

We quickly say our goodbyes as I hear the sound of a baby crying in the background. I put my cell back into my purse before lifting the picture frame on my desk and tucking the note from Dom into the back.

I stare down at the photo as guilt fills me before putting it back in its place and making my way to the bathroom to avoid anyone seeing the state I’m in.

My eyes well with unshed tears as I reach the thankfully empty restroom and slip into the first empty stall. Closing the lid, I sit down and let the overwhelming amount of tears flow freely.

This has all become too much. We were only ever meant to be one night. Nothing more. How have I let things get so complicated? I never meant to let it get this far. My tears fall fast and hard initially, but after a few minutes, I compose myself, afraid someone else might walk in and make things worse.

The last time I was in a bathroom stall crying at work had to do with him as well. Thinking back to that time last year and how hard I cried that day, I realize how much my life has changed. How much everything has changed in this past year.

That was the day I vowed my new life would begin. No more one-night stands. No more party girl Elle. It was time to step up and be a responsible adult. Which is exactly what I need to do now.
