My Cardboard Balcony

Hi, everybody. As of November 17th, I have: - Written over 30,000 words. Yes, I did fall behind a little bit due to a very busy and stressful week. However, I am still about 1,660 words ahead of the expected word count for today (which is approximately 28,339 words). - Still have no title. I'll get to it eventually. Yeah. Pretty straightforward. Until next Saturday! Cheers, Belinda

"I thought you were - " "No." "But you said that you'd - " "No." "But I was hoping you'd - " "Sorry." I feel like the tiniest and most awkward person in the world right now. She's just staring back at me, waiting for me to come up with something clever to say, as if I have the capacity to change her mind. Suddenly, the coffee doesn't taste so good to me anymore. "So." "Yes?" "When are you leaving?" I ask.
