The next morning when she woke, David was gone. It was only a few minutes after 8:00 AM but he left to go to the airport early. She was upset that he didn’t wait for her to get up before he left. She found a note on her kitchen counter explaining why.
Ava,
Thankyou for showing me a great time this week. You are a wonderful person and friend. I wish we could be together. I’m leaving before you get up because if I see you, it will push me to make a decision that might not be good for either of us.
I hopeI see you again soon. Please don’t stop being friends with me. Don’t forget what I said. Move ahead with your life and have the best possible time you can. I love you.
Your soon to be stepbrother,
David

She worked out in the early mornings, started eating healthier and spent her time reading a lot. She had dinner with Tim twice that week and decided that he was just polite rather than gloating. He was a sweet guy, and he had helped her out several times when no one else was available.
