Sometimes...

chapter 2

Matt and Sylvie are dating since 3 months. Matt turns to Sylvie and looks at her. Without any feelings in his view. Sylvie noticed something is wrong but doesn't know what. She asks softly: "Are you Okay?" Matt looks at her and nods. He doesn't want to hurt Sylvie but he knows he will. He likes Sylvie and the relationship between them but he's not over Gabby's leaving. He feels how he misuses Sylvie, also if she doesn't deserve this. Sylvie looks at Matt and sights. "Is it because of Gabby?" She asks. She knows Matt is still in love with her. It was a heavy time as Gabby left and as he became papers for the divorce. Sylvie was the only one who was always there for Matt, and Matt thinks he just uses her. Matt looks at Sylvie. Then down a little and nods. Sylvie stands up from the bed and sits on his lap. She takes his chin up so she can look in his eyes. She wraps arms around his neck and says softly: "I know you miss her. I miss her too. She was the best partner. Also if Emily is a good one too. It's not the same without Gabby. And I know it's much heavier than for me or anyone else here. But also you need to fight through this.* Casey listened to her and looked at her before he looked down again. "Today it's exactly one year since she left. So much changed and I- I don't even know if she's fine or not if she's..." He didn't finished the sentence but Sylvie knew what he meant. "Call her" Sylvie said. She kisses his forehead and leaves his office again. Casey looks after her. He stands up to close the door and tries to focus on his Paperwork. He doesn't want to think about Gabby, but he keeps thinking more and more about her. About if She's fine, if she thinks about coming back, if she has a boyfriend or if she's dead. Matt can't focus and takes his phone out. He opens the lockscreen and sees a picture of Sylvie and Matt. He opens the phone and goes one level lower to Call Gabby.
