She could have been okay with it, but time was her love language. She didn't want to get the time for his family, so she had to adjust . . . not because she wanted to but because it was best for him.
The next day, she went out all day, still clinging to the bit of hope that he might have a little time for her—an hour was okay. But the day ended without a glimpse of him.
"Even just a bit of time, you couldn't give for me," she whispered to the cold wind, holding a bottle of beer, hoping that it would her message to him. She wanted to tell him all the sleep and time she sacrificed just to be with him, but she thought twice. Finally, she cried, just cried, and blamed herself for hoping and loving him too much. "Merry Christmas, I guess."
