She was struggling, she still is.
Now she has moved away, hoping to get a fresh start and forget about what happened last year but things change when that one person appears again, however this time he's her boss, he's so much older. Oh and he has...

"Hi Lily" as soon as I say her name she goes pale, her eyes look up at me and she goes completely stiff. I am fully aware my hand is still touching her, this doesn't feel real. I was sure she wasn't that she was a dream I'd had a year back. Then she appears.
"I- I need to go, sorry again for urm, yeah" and just like that she rushes off into the room.
Her perfume still lingers this area, I'm unable to move in just stood looking ahead of me where she pretty much ran away.
"Shaun, dear is that you?" Turning my head I see my mum approaching me.
"Hi mum how are you" I lean down and hug her. She is such a small woman.
"Don't worry about me, but hunny why are you stood outside the female toilets. I mean I know you never like the marriage but seeking help near here isn't how I raised you." Oh dear, what is she on.
"I just got lost, been a while since I was in this office." I'm not lying it's true, my 'wife' decided to move me away from my family because apparently it is rubbish in London.
"Whatever floats your boat son, just make sure to make an appearance tonight. There's loads is lovely new people you should meet" and with that she walks away, and I'm left outside the toilets again.
I should really move.

"Shaun are you even listening to me?" No I wasn't, I forgot what he was blabbing on about five minutes into the conversation.
"Not really Chris, you lost me when you were talking about the women, hold on let me quote this 'there are so many women I can not wait to bang'." That is my brother sadly.
"You're just jealous you're trapped down in a lovely marriage" That smug little bastard, he knows what happened.
Slowly I get up from my chair and walk up to him. "You and I both know that if it was you who was older you would have been in my situation" I whisper in his ear. "Now, if you wouldn't mind I am going to put a poster on the streets of London with your face on saying please a avoid at all costs." I turn and leave the room, I look behind me one last time and he's just stood there with a shocked face.
This office building is one of my favourites, my sister and mum designed it a while back and it's beautiful, the brick walls in the inside with white furniture and so many more little details.

I have been sat outside the building for the past forty minutes, it's the end of the day for most people and when they walk out the door. They usual smile shake my hand and leave. The people who work here are one of the most productive team we have, they bring more clients, money and seem to all get along.
