I shut my eyes, the heart that had been suspended in mid-air because I couldn't reach him finally landed.
"What about you? Where are you?" I countered.
"At the doorstep."
Hearing that, I could almost see him standing there in the empty house.
I had moved away, unable to reach him, so he didn't know and had gone there again.
"Your phone was off; I checked with Susie, she said you went home. Fanny had surgery again, couldn't get a hold of you," Ernest offered an explanation.
I took a deep breath, slowly opened my eyes, and looked around my new place, "I couldn't reach you either."
"I know," his reply made me give a wry smile.
But before I could ask why I couldn't reach him, he added, "Did you move, Licia?"
I had moved.
Ernest didn't know about this new place. He had mentioned renting a place earlier, wanting me to move in with him, and I had agreed at the time.
But his unavailability today forced me to move here instead.
"Yeah, I moved your stuff over too," I said, glancing at his suitcase on the floor.
His belongings were few; he had rented the apartment opposite mine, and many items were provided by the landlord, which naturally went back to the landlord.
He was silent, leaving me to wonder what he was thinking, so I just went ahead, "Take a cab to Grandview Gardens, I'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Okay," Ernest agreed.
After hanging up, I went to the kitchen to boil some water, poured two glasses to cool, and then changed my shoes to head out.
This complex was completed last year, the surroundings were really nice.
I took a leisurely stroll in the garden before heading to the entrance.
