Chapter 60 She

• My heart stumps and pounds heavily inside my chest, I find myself leaning further to hear his answer, that never comes, a new voice joins them, one of the writers I presume. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding as I slowly walked back to my room.
• What was I expecting and why was I so disappointed? I scrub myself absentmindedly, what did Joanne mean by that question? Now I was mad at the guy that interrupted, if he had waited just a second longer... seriously, why was I so interested in his feelings? What did that mean to me? I hurriedly wear the clothes he had selected for me, combing my hair, I pull it into a cute bun I saw on TikTok. I halt, staring at myself in the mirror, was a lipstick too much? Shaking my head, I apply a thin coat anyway, I have been told this shade was my shade.
• “Where is Abed?” I ask the second I get out and find Joanne trying and failing to bring Crest to her laps and pet her. The cat struggled and jumped off her, disappearing down the hall, it wasn’t going to come back for a while, that is for sure.
