Not even three minutes later, my cell pings with a new message.
From: Benjamin Scott
To: Darcy Fontaine
Subject: Been better
Work is somewhat of a nightmare at the moment.
I’d like very much to see you. Are you free tonight?
Benjamin Scott
CEO, Scott Industries
What?
Has he forgotten what went down between us yesterday?
From: Darcy Fontaine
To: Benjamin Scott
Subject: Confused
I don’t think it’s a good idea that we see each other.

I hated the way we left things.
Despite what you may believe, Darcy, I do care for you. I don’t want to lose you. Even if it means just being friends.

To: Benjamin Scott
Subject: I’m sorry
I can’t.
I hope work gets better for you. I’ll always hope the best for you.
Goodbye.
I wait for an answer from him despite my message of farewell, knowing one won’t come. The horrible sinking in my stomach aches more and more as the time ticks by. I have to forget about him.
