Needled to say, morning came sooner than I expected. It felt like I had just now closed my eyes and then my clock went off, and I needed to get up.

Ugh… I sat on my bed and cursed mentally. The day promised to be a long one.

But not just one day, but a whole week turned out to be long and eventless.

I didn't see Blake, not even once.

He did his best to avoid me, again. And I thought it would be better not to push my luck with him. Maybe he simply needed time to man up and look me in the eye. Though after some time, I realized my offense was not as strong as it was the night he kissed me. And the whole 'tragedy' didn't seem to be so tragical anymore.

Or maybe I missed him so much, I couldn't wait to see him again. Even if that meant forgetting about the kiss and pretending it never happened at all.

"I think we need to call Mia," Reggie said, pouring two cups of tea, one for me and one for herself. Ariel started taking painting classes, so Reggie and I had some time to talk while the girl was busy working on another picture.

"What for?" I asked, putting sugar into my cup.

"Blake's been acting weird these days. Haven't you noticed?"

I didn’t tell Reggie anything about the unfortunate night almost a week ago. She knew something happened, but as polite as she was, she wouldn't bother me with unnecessary questions. She knew I could tell her anything if I wanted to.

"Maybe he has too much work to do," I said.

Reggie gave me a meaningful look, like, "You will not fool me with your poker face."

"Fine. I'll call her."

She nodded and sat down at the table to have her tea. "Tell her it's urgent."

I rolled my eyes. "He's not five, Reggie. If he doesn't want to talk to anyone of us it doesn't mean he needs help."

"Oh, trust me, dear – he does."

"Why don't you talk to him?"

"I care about my life, you know?"

I puffed. "And Mia doesn’t?"

"She doesn't live here, so even if he sends her to hell, she won't need to look for another job."

"I thought you were the only person able to stand his impossible temper."

"I think I'm too old for this."

"Okay, let's call Mia." I took my phone and unlocked it. "Are you sure he won't kick us out for calling her?"

"Anything's possible. But she's our last hope."
