Her POV

More days pass.

We're both getting restless.

Alice knows why I dress up every day, but she doesn't say anything about it.

When I pass you in the lobby, it still takes everything I have in me not to look at you.

This morning was rough, she cried when I left and it broke my heart.

I hate it when she cries. Those days are the worst for me.

That's why I'm late today.

When I finally make it to my office, Alice is waiting.

She's looking at me expectantly, but I stay quiet.

I shrug and drop my bag.
