"Work's good?"Chris asked

"Yeah it's fine."I nodded

We were still getting used to this long distance thing.It was awkward and difficult.

"Can you look at me Chris?"I asked

He glanced at me then back away.

"I'm sorry babe I'm studying my script for today."He said

I nodded.

"I'll let you get back to it."I said

"No-this is the only time we'll be able to talk babe."He said

"But you're barely listening to me."I said

"I'm listening Van.Tell me about your plans for the weekend."He assured me

"I'm going out with Sam and her girlfriend.Some new bar."I said

"That's good.Glad you're getting out."He said

I nodded."How's work going for you?"

"Pretty well.It's been a lot of fun."He said

"That's good."I said

"Chris!We're ready for you!"

"Babe-

"I know.I'll talk to you soon."I said

"I'm sorry."He finally met my eyes

"It's fine."I shook my head

"You look sad."He said hopelessly

"I'm fine.You have to go."I told him

He nodded."I'll call you when I can."

"Okay babe.I love-

beep beep beep.

"-you."

I stood there staring at the phone.

"Vanessa?Are you okay?"

I snapped out of it and noticed my boss had walked into the break room.

"Uhm yes."I nodded

I put my phone in my pocket and walked back to my desk.I tried my hardest to focus on my work but I just couldn't.

I heard my desk phone ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Vanessa.Could you stop by my office please?"Kimberly asked

"Sure."I said

I hung up and made my way there.My hands were sweaty and shaky.

I knocked.

"Come in!"
