Broken – 21 Days – Days 3, 4, and 5

Well day 3 I saw her but i am not resetting the clock again. As the habit is forming of not looking for her. I just was pulling out of my parking lot and had no choice. It was so brief. Darcey said she may have seen her on while she was on her way for a beach day and lunch with me.

It doesn’t matter I had a good weekend. I visited family spent time with the kids even made it out a couple of times. One was just to a bar for one drink. I just needed to extend my evening even though I was tired.

As I walked out of the restaurant to walk home three women/girls (over 21 but probably under 30) were sitting there and one of them said something loud enough that I looked up and right at her. She said “I just want you to know, you look amazing tonight.” I replied “Thank you. As do you.” And walked home. That was a nice compliment and a great ending to the evening.

I told Darcey and we laughed both at the incident and my polite and friendly reply. Sunday night I decided to take a drive with the dog and called her to chat on my way back. I finished my drive and as I started making my way into the building when I asked her to hold on a second as I reached the door.

I noticed am attractive tall blonde girl waiting for the elevators. And I knew there would be conversation. I didn’t have time to tell Darcey this but she just sat there able to listen to the entire exchange. The girl was very friendly and even a little flirty or so I thought. She said “your dog is sooo cute.” I said thank you I told her the name and the breed when she asked. Then she said I like your shirt. It was a shirt of a rock band. We said goodbye and have a nice evening.

I picked back up the phone and Darcey said something to the effect of… “Um. Oh My God.” I was like what? kind of coy. She asked “Does that happen to you all the time?” I said “well… yes kind of.” And she said “you even knew it before you got on the elevator didn’t you? That is why you asked me to hold on.” Nothing gets by her.

I just laughed totally caught but it was nice to have someone witness this. I asked if I handled everything ok. She said yes. I asked was she flirting. She said “YES!!” So lots of nice little moments this week and I enjoyed them thoroughly.
