MERCY
Days passed like a fog, going to work, meeting with my therapist after work and go ling home to sleep, Grace visits every now and then, nothing excites me and nothing agitates me, I am at peace, I call Tom's number every night just to hear his voice, I don't think he will switch his phone on ever again, he probably changed his numbers.
It's been 6weeks since he left,and I am still staying in his apartment hoping that he will return someday, he did not try to contact me and I don't blame him, today is Friday and I'm patiently waiting for my therapist in her office she is running late, I don't blame her though the woman has practically put her personal life on hold for me, for 5 good weeks, today she went to watch her eleven years old son's football game.
I never had the leisure to study her office because I was always anxious and nervous, thinking that she will judge me, instead of that she has been nothing but a sweet darling Dr.
