In the days after Oliver Bloom left, Elise Don felt like she had been seriously ill. Food had no taste, and she would always wake up in the middle of the night.
At those times, staring at the ceiling bathed in moonlight, she could always hear the clanging of night buses passing by on the street, and even the splashes they made were clearly audible.
Elise Don tossed and turned for a long time before she could sleep. During that time, she would look at photos and short videos of Shane Bloom. Watching the cooing baby and the noisy background made her feel that her life was truly distancing from the past.
She muddled through the weekend in her apartment like this. A new week started, busy, busy, nothing but busy could describe it.
