Chapter 4

On the last night of my week’s schedule before I had two days off, Ben didn't come around at all. It bothered me, although I couldn't quite put my finger on why. I think it was because of his appearance the last time I had seen him. He had looked so unkempt, so…unsettled. That was the only word that I could use to describe his appearance, let alone beyond that. His happy-go-lucky demeanor had diminished. Although his back had been to me most of the time, I was always able to pick out his laugh in the crowd, and I hadn't heard it for several days.

I began to wonder if he was dealing with more demons than I had imagined. While I was sort of relieved that he hadn't come around because my job certainly seemed easier, mainly because I didn't feel the eyes of the pit bosses on me or self-conscious about the eyes in the sky, I also figured that if he had really wanted to make up to me, really wanted to pursue our relationship, he certainly could have tried harder.

I had to accept the fact that he had probably moved on. Found another girl. Found a girl that could be bought with a few pleasant words, a few gifts, a few rolls in the hay, so to speak. Had I done the right thing? I brought it up to Savannah and she nodded.

"You know, Maggie, guys are pretty hard to figure out sometimes. As far as I'm concerned, yes, he should've tried harder to get you to forgive him, but then again, you did put your foot down. You're the one that told him to leave you alone, so you have to be satisfied with that."

I supposed she was right, although it didn't make things much easier. To be honest with myself, I missed him. I missed that smile, that sense of humor, that laugh. I didn't miss the stress I had begun to feel toward the end of our brief relationship. I knew Savannah was right, but it didn't make me feel much better. In fact, I began to feel a little guilty. Had I been too hard on him?

Then, I shook myself. No way. I always let my feelings get in the way of logic and common sense. I wanted to help everyone, "fix" everyone, and I had to realize that that wasn't always possible, or even wanted. He was a big boy. He could take care of himself. If he wanted to date more women, or those who didn't care what he was doing or how he did it, then that was their problem, not mine.

I had to content myself with the fact that he had probably moved on, and that's what I tried to do. I carried on with my shift, pushing any thoughts of Ben far into the recesses of my mind. Tonight, when I got home, I would probably bring all the memories out, and then I would pack them into a nice little box in my mind and put it away.
