Advertising is small and I guess in many ways we are a perfect fit. I’m flexible and live for my work—well, that goes without saying. What else do I have in my life? No Ceri, that’s a fact. She hasn’t been in touch and it’s been over a month.
Ironically my dreams have virtually stopped. That might be because I’m hardly sleeping; I spend hours thinking about her and wondering what happens next. Sleep usually comes around four am and then it’s only a few hours until the alarm clock wakes me for another day. Without the new job I have no idea what I would do. I know I can’t sit around moping all the time, but that’s my life pretty much outside of work now. I’m arriving early and staying late. At least the new boss is happy, although he must wonder why I don’t want to go home at the end of the day like everyone else.
I had an email from Sheena and she made it clear Ceri didn’t know she was getting in touch. It was brief. She told me that I’d broken Ceri’s heart and that I was a rat. ‘Stay away,’ she said, and that was it. The thing is, when you are confronted with the truth about a situation, what can you say? There’s no point in trying to deny what happened and there is no justification. The best thing I can do now for Ceri is to bow out of her life and hope that she finds someone who deserves to be with her and can keep her safe. She’s bright, beautiful and a catch; she has no idea how truly amazing she is and that’s because she hides herself away. At work she is outgoing, but the moment she lets down her armour, she’s running scared. The other side of her life bewilders her and she’s constantly seeking answers; that’s the bit that other people don’t understand, and there are moments when I’ve been with her where I too felt freaked out by something she told me.
I’ve decided I’ll still meet up with Ethan next week. I’m going to take a day off work and visit a couple of interesting psychic bookstores while I’m there. I don’t know if spending time with Ceri has awakened something in me. Ethan’s idea that I write up all of the dreams I could still remember with some sort of clarity, has been useful. It has certainly made me wonder whether there’s a message in there for me. What if meeting Ceri wasn’t a coincidence? What if it was fate? I also told her a lie. At the time I felt I had no choice, but I’m not a guy to give in to fear. It doesn’t sit well with me and my knee-jerk reaction ended up in my lashing out at her. I don’t know how to undo the damage, because at the time I thought I was protecting her. Whether the warning was for real and the consequences could put her life in danger—I don’t know, but that’s not a risk I’m prepared to take.
