I have noticed from scraps of his conversation that he is asking me to be transferred to another unit.

Time passed but nobody moved me anywhere, apparently other than orthopedic ward others do not need a physiotherapist, strange ...

Tom didn't say a word to me, he looked in a different direction if we passed each other somewhere, if I participated in any conversation with him he ignored me.

This is how our time has passed.

* * *

It was the beginning of July, I worked in the hospital for two months now. All the progress I made in our acquaintance was lost with one almost kiss. It was far too early and although I was not the initiator I could have prevented it.

Say something stupid before.

Before we almost kissed.

The only thing that kept me in balance was that I was doing really well at work, and if Amanda will be furious that I didn't seduce her husband, I wouldn't be dismissed from work. I think I can count on a more permanent job in Atlanta. Maybe I will finally meet someone and I will plan the wedding for myself

Who knows

The first Friday evening in July was depressing, I was going to watch Friends on Netflix for the hundredth time and eating microwave popcorn. Over the past few days I have already watched the entire first season and the first episode of the second.

I sat on the couch with a bowl on my lap, turned on the play. It was 8pm, my phone vibrated two times on the table. It was a text message, I picked up my phone and clicked the 'read' button

- Do you sometimes know that you are not allowed to do something but you still feel like doing it? - first message from an unknown number surprised me - What the hell - I thought while going to the second message - And all my efforts went to hell - There was also a third one - I couldn't do it, but I had to

I did not reply to any of the messages, I will not enter into a discussion with someone who may have mistaken the number, about half an hour later, maybe more the phone vibrated once again.

- I can see that you read the messages - frightened, I dropped the phone, a moment later I realized that my caller could see the status of the message I gathered myself and wrote back

- I don't usually write back if I don't know who I am talking to

- And You are not tempted sometimes to break this rule?

- I just did it. I wonder if it's worth it - I wrote back curious with whom I am writing

- I do not know - He wrote back briefly, I was wondering if I asked directly who he was, he would write back

- So should I stop writing back to You? - I continued this mysterious conversation

- No, I will still write to You
