Matters of the Heart

Morning

When Zoe pulled back the curtain she was saddened at the sight of an empty street, it was just gone 8am and max had already driven off. She knew that her recent actions had come with consequences but it had taken max being over dramatic for her to realise.

She walked away from the window took a shower and got ready for work. She was due at the garage in 30 minutes to pick up her car that was now apparently completely fine. She shut the front door behind her and walked the few streets to the garage. On the way she tried to call max countless times and yet there was no answer.

After the mechanic had uttered some words she had no idea what meant. All the medical jargon she remembered like the back of her hand but when it came to cars she was none the wiser. She paid the fee, got into the car and drove to work.

She parked the car and saw 'kylie' pared across the way. The ED seemed pretty quiet, max was not outside in his usual spot. Zoe knew that he still hadn't forgiven her, they needed to talk but that was easier said than done.

Zoe walk into reception, not looking at anyone and walking straight to her office. She closed the door behind her and slumped down in her chair. Today was going to be a long day.
