My phone chimed in my pocket and I stopped to check who the text was from. I was on front desk duty, which was as boring as ever. 'Ethan ❤️' it said. I swiped my phone open and had a look.

Ethan: Heya, I have to go into Sydney for 2 weeks - do want to go down with me?

I think I could do with a break from Ethan. So I texted back: I have to stay here, I used a lot of my holidays to go see my mother earlier this year.

Ethan: That's fine, I'll miss you the entire time though!

I'm not sure if I feel the same way... But I said: Aww you're adorable! Miss you too!

Ethan: Gotta go, text you later.

Well that was abrupt. I guess this means I can continue to 'focus' on the task at hand. Paperwork.
