without a word. They rarely exchange messages after, and when they did it was because she was the one who always started contact, he replied, but abandon the conversation in the middle stopping contact completely. His lack of communication makes her very sad, a misery that makes her losing her interest in seeing other people, talking to her friends and although she only wants to be at home and don’t feel like seeing anyone, she makes an extra effort every day going to the gym, making a dance course and having an intensive Asian cooking course, she does a huge effort to go out of home on a daily basis, knowing she needs to forget him and continue living, he will be part of her past forever, she continues to go weekly events for business contacts and meet in between new people. She had to keep her mind occupied and distracted with activities, she didn’t want to think about JP anymore.
Her sons, as young adults liked to spend lots of time with their friends more than with her, she understands them and doesn’t complaint. She feels alone and she wants to be.
One day when Carolina was walking down the street as she went shopping for some things she needed, she finds Daniel in front of her, they great each other, talked over a coffee and he invites her to go dinner with other friends who also knew Carolina, she accepts not because she wants to, but she needs to be with other people other than the people she works with. When Carolina arrives at Novikov, the Asian restaurant in Mayfair for dinner, there are all those smiling friends having fun all together, Carolina enjoyed their company, they were fun, and their conversations were always pleasant and relaxed without ever entering to the private life of each one, which pleased Carolina, because she didn’t like to talk about her personal life. So she was always grateful when they never touched that subject with her. When dinner was almost over and right before dessert and coffee everybody started taking pictures, one of her friends asked the waiter to take a group photo and Daniel puts his arm around Carolina's shoulders, she feels so uncomfortable and intimidated as she felt like asking him to take his hand off her and moved away, she couldn’t bare his touch. But she didn’t, she closed her eyes and open it putting herself together, she wasn’t a woman to make scenes, so she kept her composure and didn’t say anything, after all he hasn’t done anything wrong, but she felt so terrible uncomfortable. They ended up taking the picture with everyone very happy only Carolina struggled to appear happy and with a double effort she could send a smile back to the camera.
After dinner Daniel offers to take Carolina home, she said at first it was not necessary that she was going home in a taxi, he insists and saying that is in his way home, Carolina didn’t want to be ungrateful so she accept the ride home. Until the car park they needed to walk a few minutes to the parking lot, the traffic was still chaotic at 10 pm and crossing the street as she was wearing killer heels, was a small adventure and Daniel grabbed her hand to help her cross the street a little bit faster. The discomfort Carolina felt when he touched her and hold her hand was so unbearable that she just wanted to scream at him to leave her alone, she wanted to start running away from him and disappear into space. She couldn’t understand why, Daniel was a friend who had always been respectable, she had nothing against him, there was never any indication that he'd want something more than a friendship with her, he was just being kind, as was his way to be, always a gentleman. But when Daniel touched her, she couldn’t help it, it was as if he had thorns that stick on her skin, her breath changed with the discomfort of his touch, she felt the need to quickly shake his hand from her, she needed to increase distance between them, she couldn’t bare being touched, even been outside on the street she needed fresh
