THE STREETS OF New York City were bright and busy despite the cold so it took Ophelia longer to get home. Around thirty minutes later, she was tiredly stumbling into her apartment and heading straight into her bedroom.
A few boxes were arranged in a pile by the wall. It had been five days and she finally finished packing up all her things. It wasn't clear to her why she stayed this long. Maybe deep down, she was still believing that he would come back to her.
Even though it had been three years, Ophelia wished that somehow Tobias would still come back to her. In those three years, she lived in that apartment, waiting and hoping that he would return.
She kept renewing the rent, saying to herself that she should not go far in case he were to return, then he would find her there.
But every day after coming back from work, hoping to find her boyfriend at home, Ophelia would find that no one was ever waiting for her and it left her disappointed each time.
It took her stumbling on Tobias' pictures with his new girlfriend on Instagram, for her to acknowledge that no one was coming back for her and that was the reality check she needed to realise that she needed to move on with her life.
As if it was a sign, the rent expired last week and so Ophelia decided not to renew the rent.
Fortunately for her, a week before she had to leave, she found and paid for a new apartment uptown. It was cheaper and more convenient for her.
All that remained now was for Ophelia to donate all the furniture and items she and Tobias picked out together to charity.
She looked around and was satisfied that everything belonging to her had already been boxed. With a nod of approval, Ophelia put down the roll of sellotape in her hand and walked into the bathroom for a quick shower.
Her shower took shorter than usual due to exhaustion. Coming out, she waddled to the nearly empty kitchen and fixed herself a plate of cereal.
She would have loved to eat something different but her hands protested in tiredness. A few minutes later, Ophelia collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

Arriving at Hotel Aqua the next morning in one piece was a miracle. It seemed like Ophelia's lucky streak had ended just before it began.
First, she slept through her alarm and then missed the bus. Usually, it was difficult to find a cab inside her street so she had to walk all the way to the end of the street.
