Her thoughts quickly drifted towards Annabelle. Annabelle had left before her as Kristen had called, she needed to talk to Annabelle about ‘major stuff’.

Simone yawned widely, she hadn’t had much sleep the previous night. Not that they’d had endless sex, not this time, but they had stayed awake half the night talking; about Annabelle’s father. It had been two weeks since Annabelle received the letter from her mother, with only a few words on it. "I’m sorry. I love you." But with the letter was a birthday card her dad had sent her for her first birthday, along with a private detective report showing that her father had tried to find her recently, as she was now eighteen and out of her mother’s reach.

Annabelle hadn’t replied to her mother and she hadn’t tried to contact her dad to let him know she was alive. She was aloof and distant about it all. But Simone wasn’t fooled. Even though it hadn’t in any way changed their lives, as Annabelle was still her mind blowing self, Simone knew she was just trying to hide her feelings. At night, the thoughts that had been so easily kicked out of her mind during the day, showed up, leaving Annabelle restless. Annabelle never meant to distance Simone from her thoughts, she just didn’t want to burden her with her thoughts. Yes, she was sweet, too sweet sometimes.
