Towards the end of the day, Mr. Huggins came to her desk again but this time it was to tell her that a higher-up wants to see her.
" God, I am tired. Why can't they let you go? You have a headache injury, they should have forced you to go home at lunch. " Zach complains as Maisie shook her head at him.
" I am not the one complaining. You are. " Maisie said.
" You need to do the complaining for me since I can't be seen or heard. "
" You can go home or sit here and wait for me. I need to go and see what this is about. " Maisie said as she left.
Zach sighs as he forced himself to stand and follow Maisie's footsteps. He came to protect her and as much as he wanted to fade into nothing and rest, he knew he couldn't do that. Normally making himself visible for Maisie to see throug

Shit! What was he thinking? Zach paced the sitting room in an agitated state. He shouldn't have cuddled with Maisie last night, but he couldn't help himself.

Yet he couldn't help how drawn to her he was. And when they woke up this morning in each other's arms, he knew that he needed to put some boundaries between them. He knew that he had gotten comfortable and he wished that if there was any way he couldn't be alive just so that he would get to know Maisie and be with her, he would take it, no matter the cost it took from him so far, he gets to spend more time with Maisie and explore this connection they have between them, as a human.

Maisie couldn't believe she just blurted out her feelings like that, in that situation. What had she been thinking? That was right, she wasn't thinking. She was feeling and she couldn't put a lid on her emotions, and it came out of her mouth at the most inappropriate time.She breathed as she rested her back on the chair, who cares if it came out the most inappropriate time, Zach will soon disappear from her life forever anyway, it is not like she will live with someone always reminding her of her method of confession. Maisie tried to remove her mind from everything related to Zach as she forced herself to face what was spread on her desk. The charts, which Zach helped her to construct. God!

Maisie tried to go home as late as possible but eventually, she had to leave, so she left. She entered her apartment and tried to shut the door as quietly as possible. She was not above sneaking into her bedroom just to avoid Zach. In fact, she was hoping he was already asleep so that she could escape the awkward dumping speech that Zach would give when he sees her. As she tiptoed to her room, Zach switched on the light with an eyebrow raised. " Really? Maisie sneaking in? " " Hey, don't judge the way I chose to enter my home. " Maisie said as she folded her hands across her chest and pinned Zach with a glare as if she had just caught him doing something wrong. " I am not judging you because of the way you are entering, I am judging you for the way you are trying to escape this conversation. " Zach corrected " As if it is any better. " Maisie said with an eye rol

He didn't understand why Zachary was still holding on. He should just do everybody a favor and just die. The boy has been holding on for the better part of a year.

She tried to steady herself as she came out of her room and went to the kitchen where Zach sat with a cup of coffee like every other morning. Only this morning the only word they exchanged was greeting, Zach told her that he wants to use the day to figure out who he is, she told him that she is okay with that idea then they bid goodbyes as she went off to work.It has never been as tense as that even when she didn't believe he existed when he first came. Maisie used her hands to rub her eyes. She cannot go on like this, she needs to control herself better, but she can't. She can't because she loves him, and he didn't even love her.

Maisie came home to feel her apartment eerily warm. She gasps as tears fall from her eyes, she didn't need someone to help her decode the conclusion that Zach was gone forever. He had finally gone wherever it was that dead people always go to when dead. Yet, that didn't stop her from running to every corner of her apartment screaming Zach name. He never appeared. He was gone. Maisie collapsed in front of his favorite couch, she could still see the indention made from his body ... Tears flowed down her cheeks, but she didn't mind them, she just continued to stare at the indention made on the couch.****A while later, she dragged herself off the ground as she moved to her room and out of habit backed her door.

" Anthony said as a greeting when he approached Maisie's desk. " Drinks? " Maisie asked in confusion. " The dark glasses. You must have one hell of a hangover. " Anthony said as Maisie chuckles. " I wish that was the case. " Maisie replied dryly. " So, what happened? " Anthony asked. " I lost someone close to me.
