On Monday, I can drive to work again as I finally have my car again. I also have my independence back because I won't need Cary to drive me to work and back anymore. I always felt awkward with him doing that. We never talked to each other much, during the time that he drove me except for the common niceties. I would try sometimes to say a word or two but he would always be more focused on his task at hand than the sad conversation I would try to impose on him. It just never seemed right, him driving me around, though I know it was technically his job to do so.

I pass by Starbucks before I head to work to say hello to Shannon and pick up my usual and a coffee for Trinity. The last time I saw her was two days before I went on my trip and I have missed her. "Gees April! I haven't seen you in the longest. I was starting to think you left me for another coffee place," she feigns sadness.

"Sorry, I was on a business trip for my job. I only just got back this weekend. And don't you ever worry, this is the only place for me," I reassure her.

"Good! I would hate to think somebody has stolen my best customer," she turns back from her task to smile at me.

"I'll see you later Shannon," I laugh. I return to my car and proceed to drive back to work. I forgot how much I liked to drive myself.

At work, I first stop by Trinity's desk. She is talking on the phone, ranting, and raving to the other person on the line. Doing basically everything else besides her job, but that's the usual. I would actually be surprised if she was working. Which makes me wonder how she is even still employed. Either way, however, it is happening, I am happy for it. I can't imagine being here without Trinity. Though my relationship with Damien has changed, I am not sure by how much. Too many thoughts are spinning through my head of why things happened the way they did. Everything is moving so fast, I barely have time to think anymore.

Maybe he just wanted to have some fun.
Maybe he was just caught up in the moment.
Paris is the city of love after all, right?
But is this love?
Am I in love or being naive?
But it wasn't just Damien, it was also Javier.
What about Javier?
Do I love them both?
Can I love them both?!

I finally snap out of out of it when Trinity starts laughing at something that is said to her on the other end of the phone.
