Chapter Nine

Sarah

One month, four days, ten hours, but who was counting?

Sarah looked up at her bedroom ceiling and frowned as the white tiles began to slowly spin. She’d woken from a deep sleep to the feeling that her bed was gently swaying on ocean waves. Nausea burned in her throat, and she thought that’s what had woken her. Now it wasn’t just a shadowy, sleepy sensation, but a full-blown indication something was making her insides very unhappy. She’d probably been dreaming about sailing with William, only on rough seas instead of a mirror-fine ocean like she normally dreamt. Every spare moment in the month since they’d parted had offered the opportunity to daydream about him, and she’d taken full advantage.

She blinked and cleared her throat, hoping if she woke up a little more, the nausea would go away like a bad dream. But who was she kidding? The physical symptoms might go away, but the melancholy inside her wouldn’t. This was all just a physical manifestation of her inner sadness. Sounded like something a therapist might say, but…it was true. Emotions could come out as physical symptoms, and hers had simply chosen to make her feel like she was one second away from throwing up. She didn’t regret coming back to her own life, but she missed William in a way she hadn’t expected. The first couple of weeks, they’d been good about texting and calling often. And then he’d called to say there was unrest in the workers’ union and he’d likely be up to his elbows in negotiations to keep things running smoothly. Add in the clean ocean initiative, and she figured he’d be swamped. But she hadn’t expected that his text messages would stop almost completely.

They had.

Sarah rubbed her eyes. There were no more good morning texts, or notes in the middle of the day that he missed her. No calls at strange hours when they had a few moments. In the past week, her anticipation of hearing from him had turned into disappointment in knowing that a call wasn’t coming. She’d stewed about it, tried to be understanding. And then her boss had given her a huge assignment, and she’d gotten swamped. She’d stopped reaching out too because it skipped her mind in the middle of the million other things she had to do. She promised herself that it was temporary, that they would get past this “too busy” hurdle. She wanted to give him the space to do what he needed to. Besides, he wouldn’t forget about her.

Would he?

With a groan, she blinked a few times to clear the sleepiness and depressing thoughts from her head and plucked her cell from her night stand to check the time. It wasn’t quite time for her alarm to go off. She could sleep a little more. Her stomach clenched, the ceiling making another spin. She rolled onto her side and pulled her knees to her chest, waiting for the sensation to pass. Betty had invited her out for hibachi last night.
