Chapter 18 Space

• *Patrick*
• I was starting to get particularly worried. It had been a full week since I heard anything substantial from Holly. I messaged her every day at least once, but the most I had heard back since Emily came to her workplace was that she was too busy to meet or check her phone often. I didn't quite believe it, but I gave her some space anyway. Something about the situation had caused her to pull away, not that I could blame her.
• But I maintained a little bit of hope. There was a kids’ Christmas craft event that we had talked about. We both had already planned to go to it, and I hoped I would see her there. Maybe I could get her to talk to me or at least listen.
