She Looked for Me After I Was Gone
After being out of contact for a month, my wife finally remembered me.
'Mason's still one song short. Bring me that score of yours.'
But this time, she never received a reply from me again.
Mason tried to persuade her carefully. "Vega, forget it. Maybe I'm just not meant for this award. Don't fall out with Blaine because of me."
Vega reassured him that I was only sulking. Then she went home, found my score, and handed it to Mason, thinking she could explain everything to me once I came back.
But she never got the chance.
I had been by her side the whole time—she just could not see me anymore.
