Waiting. For the last five years, that's all I'd been doing. To the contrary, it's been a lot longer than that. So many years had passed as I waited.

I'm patiently waiting to complete my degree and enter the working world. I've been devoting all of my time and energy to my career and avoiding boys, relationships, and other responsibilities. Yes, I was at it again. I planned on waiting until next Friday so that I could go down on my knees in a hotel room and let Oren have his way with me.

He wrongly judged me to be a rash and impetuous person. Admittedly, I acted hastily...
