VERA'S POV Hannah is such a darling, she helped me clean up the mess in my kitchen and parlor. She got me a cleaning service at her husband's agency, I had to do it since that was the only available office. I buried myself in the job, leaving my house as early as five in the morning and returning home late in the night. I would rather let others dump their shifts on me than think about him. For eight days, I didn't see Nathan, his door was shut and Hannah told me that his office was also locked. I thought that he must've realized that he was wasting his time, accepted his mistake, and left. Ever since then, I haven't seen anything like lily flowers or letters in a red envelope. But it was hard to concentrate at work and sleep peacefully at night. I did well not to cry myself to sleep
