What am I even doing! He already told me exactly what he was going to do! He said he was going to play basketball! Why should I be sad! Next time, next time will be fine. Something like this can be done anytime, there's no need to rush. Just take it slow, slow and steady.
But Mei didn't expect… this was only the beginning.
Then came the second time.
She failed to meet Otis the first time, but the second time!
March 16th.
This time, Mei texted Otis at 9 a.m.
"Richard, are you free tonight?"
After sending it, she felt anxious.
What if he said no?
He'd seemed busy lately.
Even their meals together had become much less frequent, and Mei was genuinely worried.
Was Otis starting to get tired of her?
Was she being too clingy? Too needy?
