I called H. He answered “this is H”… Like he didn’t recognize my number, right… I don’t normally see much of MLC stuff, since I don’t have much contact with H, but when I see it surprised me every time.

He asked “how are you”, and then sounded so excited when I asked him the same. Just weird. Then he asked me if I had a good time at the vacation home. We chatted a bit about that, it was a pleasant conversation. I was relaxed and was just myself. He said that he was thinking that he would run into me somewhere, but he didn’t. Interesting. At least he was thinking about me, LOL.

Then we discussed the company finances. As I thought, he asked me if I could print him his check. So, the plan was for him to pick it up tomorrow, and he also wants to pick up one of his chests that have been seating here since he left. There is another one, but he said that he cannot fit both in his car. I am working from home tomorrow. Not sure how he pictured picking up stuff if I would not be home. He would probably ask for a permission to enter the house.

Anyway, the fact that he wants to pick up some of his stuff tells me that he is firmly on the path of moving on and not re-thinking his decision. It stung me again for the moment. I think I should know by now that all my hope is just a wishful thinking. I had a moment of sadness thinking that the love he had for me is gone forever. I’m no more than a business partner and a distant acquaintance to him. I guess I just still cannot believe it. Trying very hard to not start crying right now. I still need to go do some shopping tonight.
