I send my email and then pace, waiting for his reply. I chew my thumbnail and refresh my inbox, and still, nothing.

What is he doing? Writing a dissertation?

I wish my door had a little peephole. I want to know if he’s still out there, but I don’t want to embarrass myself by poking my head out.

I decide to give it a few minutes, and when those few minutes pass, a few more.

I change into my pajamas and start to get ready for bed. All the while, I eagerly check my phone. I turn it off silent—a rarity these days—and nearly have a heart attack when my email pings. Leaping for my phone, I unlock it, and then…I see it’s just a junk email from LinkedIn. Audrey, please add to your LinkedIn network.

No! Go away!

When my bladder has had enough of this hostage situation, I eventually do leave my room. I crack my door gently, gently now, but then I feel like a doof when I find the hallway is empty. Noah’s door is closed. I don’t think another email is coming.

Huh.

Normally, in a situation like this, I would feel like I won something. I got the last word. HaHA!

Oddly though, that’s not the case. I just really want Noah to email me back.

That realization freaks me out.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

Everything is turning into a jumbled mess. I’ve lost my grip on the situation.

Up until last night, Noah and I were oil and water. Forever at odds. I knew where I stood with him. It’s why I assumed his kiss was a form of torture, emotional manipulation, a cruel joke, what have you, but now…things are getting messy. What he said at dinner contradicts everything. And the stuff about Lorenzo? About him not being good enough for me? That’s really throwing me for a damn loop. There’s no way to put a negative spin on that. It’s a bald-faced compliment through and through.

HOLY CRAP. My brain can’t compute the implications of all this.

Every little cog in my head is whirling around at full speed. Steam should be shooting out of my ears.

Where a moment ago, I wanted Noah to be waiting for me outside my door, now I’m relieved that he’s not. I race to the restroom, pee, brush my teeth, run back to my room, and lock my door once I’m inside. I feel better now. I can relax.

I think I’ll feel normal again in the morning. I’ll have a better handle on the situation then. It might seem weird and confusing now, but I’m just tired. In the light of day, Noah will be my enemy again. Just like always.
