YOU WAITED
Joe asks me, standing at the bottom of the stairs.
Sighing, I nod, rising to my feet.
" Would you take me to the bookshop, please?"
He nods, his brows scrunched up. As curious as he is about my mood, without another word he walks ahead of me, leading me out to the car.
Just a day before yesterday I was bubbling with happiness, feeling giddy and in love. Things seemed right and were starting to look up. And now, today, it's as if those few moments of happiness don't even count. I can't explain this but it's like I'm always receiving temporary happiness.
