A bit too much alcohol, but all stays  the same. I barely got to my bunk. I felt my stomach tie in a knot, and the wounds on my hands just pinch under the sleeves. It's possible that one of them has opened up again.

I felt cruel.

Two weeks.

The route and being in constant motion distracted me. I waited for him to call, but he didn't. I had enough of waiting.

Tears ran down my cheeks as I typed a message, but my fingers were shaking so much that I didn't even know when I was crying for good.

Suddenly the phone rang and I received the call.

"Angeline?" His uncertain, repenting voice sounded on the other side.

"Clinton... I just... I miss you and I can't find peace of mind. I still think about how angry you are with me..." I was sobbing.

"I miss you too. It doesn't matter that you won't come... It seemed important, but you know..."- I heard bitterness in his voice. He tried to relax the atmosphere with croaking, but it only overwhelmed me.

"Talk to me, okay? My head is pounding and I wanna fall asleep. I had few hours working and I think I got drunk after all" I confessed, feeling miserable.

"I'll tell you a story, okay?" I swear I heard a smile in his voice. As far as it is possible...

"Anything, if I hear your voice," I said mumbling to myself.

"You're seriously drunk" he laughed "Be good, don't do this anymore, okay?"

"I won't" I assured him, sinking into beginning of the story.

My eyelids dropped with more and more words heard until I finally fell asleep.
