Call Her
Josh and Donna, Faith-Based Initiative, 100 words.
Against his better judgment, he took Toby's advice and called her.
"How've you been, Donna?"
"Busy."
"I heard you're working for Will, now."
"I'm working for the Vice President. And I'm leaving for New Hampshire this afternoon, and I don't have time to talk. My new job has actual meaningful responsibilities, and people are counting on me."
Ouch.
"Look, Donna, I'm sorry about..."
"Josh, Will's calling me. I have to go."
Donna hung up the phone, went to the bathroom and wiped away the tears. This was hard enough as it was. Why couldn't he let her make a clean break?
