After spending several hours in bed, Jamie attempted to educate me with a couple of her favourite films, starting with Strangers on a Train, which is apparently one of Hitchcock’s most underrated films, based on a Patricia Highsmith novel. I hadn’t watched too many black and white films in my time, fearing them to be too old and boring, but that certainly wasn’t the case here. After an interlude for Chinese takeaway, consisting of the amazing ribs, we delved into another Hitchcock treat. North by Northwest, a bit more full-on in the production department with no expense spared for cast. Nonetheless, a great, entertaining movie and one of Jamie’s favourites I figured as she could quote most of the lines.

In the morning, I once again had to break the news of my departure back home.

“I need to go back to Manchester again today. I’ve got a meeting with some new clients tomorrow.”

“When will you be back?”

“Monday evening, I hope.” To my relief, I had the more minor role of co-presenter for this Whitby client meeting, unless James developed another illness.

“I’ll miss you.” She said it again.

I looked across at her lips twisted into a pout. I hated to admit it to myself, but I was going to miss her, too, and that very thought was killing me. I hated feeling this vulnerable, needing to be with someone to feel good.

“I’ll miss you, too,” I replied quietly.

I’d had such a good time with Jamie over the last few weeks. It felt alien to me in many ways. I wasn’t used to feeling clingy with anyone. It was starting to make me doubt myself and my ability to be on my own. As soon as I left York, my insecurities began to steadily build. All I could think about was how I wasn’t good enough for her. What had I been thinking? It was only going to end badly. Jamie wasn’t the type to stop at an unreturned phone call, taking the hint it was over when the project came to an end. Maybe it was better to finish it now with a clean cut rather than drag it out. I began to make contingency plans for how I could get out of this as painlessly as possible before we both got too attached. Although it was becoming clear to me I was too late to save myself, maybe I could still save Jamie from what would be an inevitable Robin Carson fuck up.

After arriving home, I spent the rest of the day prepping for tomorrow’s meeting, trying to take my mind off Jamie and our situation. Luckily, we hadn’t reached that constant texting and calling phase, so hopefully it wasn’t too late to break it off without too much damage. I figured the more time I could spend away from Jamie’s charming personality the more likely the relationship could be dissolved.
