Am I officially going crazy!?
"Callie!? What am I hearing? You are married to Taylor!? Your squad head!?"
Oh well. There it goes.
I looked up at Andrea's face. She was back to her bright face with a flip switch. How is that even possible!?
I bit my lip.
"Ah...well...ex-boss...technically..."
She stroked her chin,
"Oh, that's weird. I thought you were married to Donnor."
My eyebrows shot up,
"And why did you think so?"
She inhaled.
"Callie, do you remember me telling you how I wasn't there at the beach party?"
"Yeah...." I nodded,
"Yes! I went to get the food order. Spicy and soft. I got a message from Donnor himself, on my phone."
"Okay....and?"
I had no idea where she was going with this.
She jumped with excitement, catching me off guard.
"He told me today is his big day....blah blah blah....but he....but he told me that he is especially happy."
"What?"
I blurted, my heart thumping.
Big day...especially happy...?
That doesn't sound like Donnor...
"Oh yeah...I have never seen him talk like that before...like you know..."
I folded my arms, rubbing the base of my elbow,
"Like...like what exactly?"
Andrea scratched her forehead, hiding her face.
"Uh... actually you know what? Forget about it, Callie. I think I misread him. He can never have feelings. Any feelings."
"What!?"
I gasped, staring at her.
Did she just throw in the word feelings?
She rolled her eyes.
"Don't think about it now. But yes. He seemed happy and that's weird because he never really gets happy. He is the opposite of emotions, a statue.
"Uh yeah...."
I rubbed the side of my neck, my thoughts spiralling out of control.
Donnor....happy? He was happy that day?
But why?
Wait....
I stared at Andrea, my eyes squinting.
"Why did you think that him being happy has anything to do with marriage!?"
Her lips parted into a twitch, but she closed it in an instant.
"I don't know. Wild guess. I know. Yeah..."
She scratched her forehead, concealing the expression drawn on her face.
Was she embarrassed? Or was it something else?
But most importantly, what was this discussion!?
I exhaled, shifting my focus. This wasn't the time to think nonsense.
"Anyway. Andrea. I don't know if you are safe with me...."
She held my hand, passing a smile.
"Oh, it's okay. I should stay actually. You need some company... I will be fine..."

RomanceI looked at the table. The bowl was there in the same spot, but there was no sign of the fork. Where the heck did the fork go!? All this while, he was looking right at me like a wolf ripping off a human's flesh, which made matters even worse. I felt...
