That night, we talked through instant messages too. And the next day, to my delight, she was cheerful again. We got to talking and sharing everything ...and we both knew we had a different relationship with each other now.After some days, my parents went to their native for a week. I decided to stay and see if I can get lucky with my professor. So I started staying out of the college and chats with her. She realized something was wrong and asked me about it. But I dodged the topic.My parents had. “We’ll get to the source of this attack, and we’ll do it quickly. We won’t waste time with political committees or sending out hundreds of police officers working at cross purposes. Since this is a crime against the people of New York, we’re dedicating ourselves to solving it as efficiently as possible.” He made a broad sweeping gesture, indicating Em and her partner. “Now, I’d like for the two detectives to explain their plan of attack.”Em glanced at Doug, cleared her throat and stepped. I was a little surprised to see us all seated at an enormous dinner table that sat all of us comfortably. Karly sat right beside me and held my hand. The steaks were delicious, and I complimented Joshua on them. Apparently, slowly cooking steaks on the grill made them a hell of a lot better, well, either that or there was just a huge difference between the quality of steak I could afford and what we were eating here…Everyone loved my potatoes. Karly’s mom was particularly impressed,. It was good to see you again." As he guided her away from me toward the back of the parking lot, she looked back at me again and again, as if asking me whether she should go with him. I stood there, frozen to the pavement, waiting for the game to end, for him to release her and have her run back into my arms. When she no longer looked back, I began to follow them at a distance, not quite sure what I was about to do. They reached his car, he opened the passenger door, and she got in. She didn't.
