So Close But Yet So Far Novels & Stories

I said, "I am not buying tonight." "I am not selling anything." He picked up a flat stone and turned it over in his fingers. Did not throw it. Just hold it. "I have been where you are. Not this exact situation. But the specific flavor of it. Watching someone you love become something new and realizing the distance between you is growing and you do not have the tools to close it." I looked at him sideways. "Your condolences are noted."

Distant. I groaned and dragged the pillow over my ear. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” I turned onto my other side. Then back again. “This is ridiculous,” I muttered. Why was this bothering me? It shouldn’t. It really, really shouldn’t. I squeezed my eyes shut. “Not your problem,” I whispered. And then, because my brain apparently hated me— It went straight back to him. The way he looked at me. The way he didn’t. The way his voice changed—just slightly—when he told me to stay.

I did remember on my trip back last year, I took a bottle of yogurt out of the fridge since the heat was getting to me. Cass Silver, my sister-in-law, gave me an attitude when she caught me quenching my thirst upon her return. She didn’t hold back on the snide remarks at the dinner table. “You might want to watch what you eat. It’s harder to find a partner when you let yourself go. “It isn’t as easy to earn a living in our sleepy town than where you are. The prices are ridiculous. I don’t know how we survive. “You’re pretty generous to yourself. I bet you burn through a ton of cash every month.”

"Fine go on." "Okay for some period of time now I've been feeling drawn to you in so many ways. I just can't explain it. One minute it's like when you're there I'm whole, and when you're not I feel like I'm falling apart again. It's like you're a missing piece of a puzzle, because I feel these incomplete vibes when you're far away."

Because the day of your death may be getting closer and closer. - I like you. - she whispered, and felt ashamed at the same time. - I know it's not what you want to hear yet, it's not an I love you, but I feel attached to you. Our coexistence here in your house is difficult for me, because we are so close and yet so far apart. You in the living room and me in the bedroom, each one with his own life. At first it was going to be like this, but now I don't think it's possible anymore. Because I want to be with you, even if we don't do anything.

Ward says, smiling knowingly at me. I wonder what he means by that pause, but I do not dwell on it. Instead I thank him for the first aid kit and I run back to where I left the wolf, hoping that he is still there. I smile widely when I see the wolf still laying there, I just hope that I can help him. I run over the road and close to the wolf, as I get closer I see a lone tear fall down his eye. “Mr. Wolf. Please don’t die!” I say, getting close to the wolf.

Near in the way that had a specific and physical quality. Near enough that the lamp was equally between us, near enough that his contract and my letters occupied the same general territory of the table rather than the separate and distinct territories of a table with a significant distance down its middle, near enough that when I had looked up at the sound of his voice I had found his face at a proximity that was different from the proximit I had been maintaining in my peripheral awareness. I had been maintaining the far end. The far end was not where he was. I looked at him.

Her face came close to his and she giggled once again. She tried her best to keep her eyes open but it was obvious her quest failed. When she noticed she could not do so she sighed and blew raspberries. "So close yet so far away"

Riley cried " Look, i'm sorry i gave you too much crap, i just , i don't want you making harsh decisions like this" Ana apologized " so what now?" " I'm moving, i figured i have nothing left here, i had all these job offers from different aganecies and i kept rejecting them cause you know, Adam was here and my life was all about him, but, now that it isnt anymore, i have no reason to be here, i can go anywhere, LA, Atlanta, New york, Colorado, even paris . I can make few calls and see if any agency still wants me, in fact there is this one in England that's just starting but they're doing good for themselves, i can work with that" Riley said as tears ran down her cheeks

Her eyeballs are about to fall from its sockets when she saw Cairo from my room. “What the-” “Catch ‘ya later, Eunice!” I screamed and rushed through the staircase. I heard her call me but I didn’t bother to look at her. Even if I try explaining my side, she’s gonna think that Cairo and I has something intimate. Well, she’s not wrong on that matter. But that was before. If I am going to rate how close Cairo and I right now, it would be a two over ten. Given that he’s beside me and keeping up with my pace is enough to make it a point higher.
