The situation with Fred was the last straw for all the tension 1 was eling. In the last two days, I received flowers from Henry’s father, with cards making invitations, I thought this man would leave me alone, but he was still bothering me. I thought it better to ignore it and pretend it wasn’t about me. Now with Fred’s situation, I would definitely keep quiet about it

Henry and I were face to face for hours, and he didn’t even speak tome. Thad sent several messages, and he never replied. We were all supposed to stay at Patrick’s house–how would that work out?

Bot to my surprise, Henry dita’t go to Patrick’s house. I kept walling, but nothing. Weren’t we all supposed to be together? Where did this man go?

“Samantha?” 1 felt Rick’s hand on my shoulder. Thad b annchair

“Oh, hi, Rick. I was distracted.”

staring but the window for hours, sitting in that living room

“I noticed. Waiting for Henry?” My eyes welled up at the question Want to open up to me? I’m a great listener

“Did I go too fat, Rick?” Lasked, and he knew what I was referring to

“Can’t be honest?” I nodded. “It was more than going too far. It was cruel, Sam. You gave hope and then took it away the next

moment,”

“And what do I do now? He can’t even stand being near me,” I lamented.

Now you think, decide what you want for your life, and wait.”

“Wait, Rick? For how long?”

“Fifteen days. Henry leaves tomorrow for work, he’ll be gone for teen days. When he comes back, he’ll be calmer, and you two can talk. He’s not here because he’s preparing for his trip.”

I couldn’t stop the tears from falling anymore. I went to my room and cried like a child. In the days that followed, I was just a. body walking back and forth. I counted the days until his returIL…

The days passed, not as quickly as I would have liked, in fact, they dragged on. It had been three weeks since Henry had traveled, and I could only think that maybe he had found someone interesting on this trip.

During the last three weeks, I did nothing but go from home to work, even avoiding meetings with the girls. I convinced Patrick it was safe to return to my house since the security guard would be at my disposal, and that made me feel secure.

But the following weekend, I went to spend a few days with my mother and stepfather, and 1 dismissed the security guard. There was no need for him to stay with me at my mother’s house, and I didn’t want to alarm her either.

“Sweetie, you finally came to spend some time with us!” My mother hugged me happily. “Where’s Henry?”

“Oh, Mum, it’s complicated.”

“Did you two fight?” A mother’s intuition never fails.

“It’s more than that.”

“Then sit here and tell me everything.”

“Where’s Joaquin?”

“He went out with Vincent. I’m not sure what they’re up to, but they’ll be back soon

“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Vince

“Mon…” I smiled with tears in my eyes, and she hugged me.

I started talking, told her everything, every detail. By the end, my mother’s mouth was wide open.

“Samantha, I work in a pharmaceutical company. You shouldn’t he given him sexual stimulants, especially without his knowledge. He could have had a heart attack, Samantha! That’s dangerous!” My mother scolded me

“Oh, Mom, I acted without thinking.”

“Yeah, and without thinking, you gave him a cup of poison.” My mother was reprimanding me, which was rare,

“Come on, Mom, that’s exaggerating!”

“No, Samantha, I understand Henry’s anger. You were cruel and irresponsible! I didn’t raise you like this.” My mother was angry with me, just what I needed.

“Okay, Mom, but I tried to apologize, and he won’t even talk to me.”

“Do what your friend said, wait for him to come back with a clear head.”

Tagreed since I didn’t have any other option anyway. Soon after, Joaquin and Vincent came in laughing, and when they saw me, they made a big fuss

So, beautiful, theard you’re dating some big shot in tech.” I laughed at how Vince put it as he sat next to me on the porch.

“We’re kind of fighting,

Vince.” He gave a bitter smile.

“My ex said she broke up with me because we never fought.” He had sad eyes,

“What weird people,” I mocked, and he laughed.

Vincent and I had always gotten along well. We became friends and even joked that we were siblings who met as adults, born to different parents. We spent some time there sharing our sorrows with each other.

Vince was still hurting from the end of his relationship. He thought he had found his happily ever after, but shortly before the wedding, his fiancée decided she didn’t want him anymore.

1, on the other hand, was torn between being right or being happy. While I was stubbornly certain that I was right about Henry, I wasn’t happy at all–far from it.

“Think it through, beautiful,” Vince said with his arm around my shoulders.

“The worst part is that you’re right,” I agreed.

“I know. Life teaches us, Sam, that it’s better to be happy than to be right,” Vince spoke very seriously. “And life, my sister, is fleeting. I see that every day.”

“I don’t know how you manage to work in the ER.” Vince was an emergency room doctor, and it was surprising that, despite everything he saw, he still had faith.

“That’s because I believe I can make a difference in people’s lives,” he smiled. “How about going to the movies later?” Vince invited me, and I liked the idea – I love movies and haven’t gone much lately.
