"Did you get there safely?"
Wesley replied to her message in a heartbeat.
“Yes, I did.”
She stared at the screen in a daze. Her phone beeped again.
“I miss you."
Tears sprang to her eyes
Blair didn't text back. She didn't know if she missed him or not, but she couldn't sleep a wink last night without him by her side.
It wasn't until two weeks later when Blair remembered the video file
Wesley had mentioned. Since she had just clocked out from work, she quickly returned to her office to pick up her Laptop.
Blair didn't take her car out that day. She slowly walked down the road back home in her high heels, carrying the Laptop bag in her hand
As she walked to an intersection, she saw a young couple bickering along the sidewalk.
The girl Looked unhappy and was giving the boy a cold shoulder. He threw her onto his back without warning and ran straight ahead, ignoring her protests.
The scene reminded Blair of Wesley. He always did the same to her.
In most cases, when she was angry with him, he threw her over his shoulder, carrying her Like a sack of potato, rather than carry her gracefully in his arms.
Immersed in her memories of Wesley, Blair didn't notice that the traffic light had turned red and continued to cross the road.
The sounds of the squeaking brakes and blaring horns snapped her out of the trance. But it was too late. She saw a car on the right bearing down on her.
In a panic, she instinctively stepped backwards and because of her high heels, she lost her balance and sprained her ankle. She fell to the ground and her Laptop bag was thrown a few feet away from her.
The driver reacted quickly and swerved the car abruptly to avoid hitting her. It narrowly missed her body, but the rear tire grazed her leg. The car didn't stop until it crashed onto the green belt in the middle of the road.
A searing pain shot through her Leg.
She felt her heart ache when she saw that her laptop bag was run over by the car. 'It's probably broken, ' she thought.
In no time, a woman got out of the car in a hurry. When she saw Blair sitting on the ground with a bleeding Leg, she was so frightened that she had to support herself against the car door.
A man opened the passenger door and jumped out. He ran to the frightened woman and pulled her into his arms.
“Honey, are you okay?"
"I'm all right, but she..." Her voice trailed off as she pointed towards Blair. The pool of blood scared the life out of her.
After comforting his wife, the man quickly strode to Blair and checked her condition.
