Four months later - April.
Part of me hoped after Alice's New Year's Eve party that I'd get a phone call from Edward, and that maybe the Polaroid of me he'd picked up hadn't had the number rubbed off.
January came and went and now it's April and still not a word.
Alice is adamant he's my soulmate and that fate will bring us back together and I love my best friend, but I'm losing my faith.
I've always been a workaholic but even more so now, I've completely buried myself in my work. Pulling even more shifts and offering to travel to our sister veterinary office.
I'm at Kings Street Station in downtown Seattle this morning, travelling to a veterinary symposium on the other side of the city. I wouldn't normally get the train but traffic will be a nightmare and I figured this would make my life a whole lot easier.
But now I've arrived and remembered how busy this station gets during the week and I'm regretting my choice. Ugh, there must be about a thousand people here!
I'm standing by the departure board looking for the platform that I need to get my train, I look down to check my ticket and see a flash of bronze hair walk by a few people away.
Anxiety immediately floods my body and my heart rate picks up.
Is it? Or is it just my imagination?
I check my watch and finding I have plenty of time before my train departs and before I lose all my courage I decide to follow the hair.
Having not seen Edward out of costume, it's hard to tell and it's even harder to tell from just the back.
I try and follow for a while but in a second whoever it is has slipped away from my view.
I stop walking and turn around to go and find my platform. My heart rate is still pounding with anxiety racing through my body.
It wasn't him. How could it be?
