2404 December BJ: The Whale had dropped anchor. People were getting into transport boats and heading for shore, so were we. I said good bye to Mercedes,got into my car and left. I hadn't given her any answers, I wasn't sure I could. I just knew that I couldn't let her have that much of my life.
I went home and straight to bed, the smell of her still on me. The music I used to play to lift my mood wasn't working now. Her voice singing in my ears. I wasn't hearing the words of the song, I was hearing her words of just a few hours ago and before. I should have given her something to hang on to , I hadn't . I was a cruel son of a bitch( sorry mom). I hit the playback on my machine. Boyd, I need you are you there? It's Skyler. She needn't have told me, I knew when I first heard her voice. I waited but that was it. I pushed replay to see if there was a time for the call. It was yesterday . I pushed the return call bottom , Roman answered. I asked for Skyler, and he told me she had to go out of town and he had no number for her yet . He would let me know when she called . We chatted about the kids and I said good bye. God, I thought what now and why hadn't she come here!
