The thing about crying is that the more you try to fight it, the harder it is to resist it and sooner or later, you succumb to it. So following the logic of 'better sooner than later', I let my tears flow freely and true enough after a while, you still feel sad, but there are just no more tears and you feel a sense of serenity cos of the release of the emotions. My eyes were really tired after all the crying and I fell asleep soon after and was awakened by Nic's call in the afternoon. Upon hearing his voice, my voice started shaking and I started to cry again. I think it startled him a little to have his cheerful call greeted by my sobs and he asked me if this is about what the girlfriend said yesterday. He said, 'Babe, I told you to ignore what she said.' I said it's not her and told him (or at least tried to) about the damn conversation in the morning. I don't know how much he managed to glean in between my sobs, well we'll know later when he comes back. Now I feel like crying again. He couldn't stay and talk for long as he's needed in a conference, but his voice and concern was so comforting.
