Renee I cried myself to sleep after I asked Seb to leave my house. There's no way he could eat his cake and have it back— coming here to make peace to co-own the theater, a business you abandoned because of its challenges. That night I cried myself to sleep for ignoring all the signs that were visible during the courtship with Seb. It was 5am, I had just woken up from sleep but was still on the bed trying to go over my schedules for the day and the appointments that I had set up with some actors when a message popped up in my phone—A message from Tea. “Hey beautiful, slept well?” “Yes, I tried, but it would have been better if you were here,” I replied. “I can see that someone misses me huh.” Texting him is becoming awkward due to the age gap. So I stylishly changed the topic.
