Once again he was plagued with thoughts that he’d had his one shot. Everything had been perfect and wonderful for a while. Eve had been the real love of his life. His other half. She had been the central star in his sky. And now…if there was a heaven…she was up there shining brightly for everyone to see.August melded into September and work was tiring but still rewarding. Coming home was still the hardest part, especially when his best friend was overseas so much. Lily loved her job passionately. She effervesced whenever she talked about it, and she was really making a name for herself. He thought it felt rather surreal seeing her on TV when she was so far away, off reporting something or other. But he was so proud of her. She had succeeded in her chosen field. He just missed her. Whenever she was away he didn’t really see anyone. He would pop over to his parents’ every so often to be the dutiful son but as for friends…well…they all had their own lives that didn’t usually involve him.
