When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Before I could start my car, I got a call from Macy.

I checked the time to see that it was ten already. As soon as I answered my phone, Macy’s voice reached my ears. “Babe, guess where I am now.”

Listening to the bubbling excitement in her tone, I thought for a while before answering, “Q City!”

“Damn!” she cursed. “Ms. Stovall, you’re such a bore!”

Based on her choice of words, I knew that I guessed it right. Smiling into the phone, I teased, “It’s not like today’s your first day knowing me. So how’s it going? Have you found a suitable location?”

Fuller Corporation’s underground car park was large, and not to mention, vacant now. While I sat in the car and spoke on the phone, I could vaguely hear the echo, making the hair on the back of my neck stand.

“Mhm. Q City is indeed a good place to settle down. It’s very relaxing here too. I stayed here for a few days, and I really like the pace of life here. The weather here is really pleasant too, so I think it’s a perfect place to settle down.”

Macy talked a lot on the other end of the line, so I put her on speaker and started the engine. The car park was too empty and I felt a little uneasy staying here for too long.

I answered while reversing. “You should stay in Q City for a couple more days more to get used to it, and maybe check out some places for me while you’re there. Ashton arranged another project for me. It’s quite a difficult one, so I probably won’t be able to go anywhere for the time being.”

She swore a little and started nagging at me. “You’ve already decided to leave, so why the heck did you accept another project? Since you’ve decided to leave, then do it once and for all. Stop having second thoughts or dragging things on.”

I had to leave once and for all, but humans were prone to indecisiveness,
