Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

The car door slammed shut, and the engine roared to life as Gilbert pulled away.

He dropped his hand from the steering wheel for a moment to glance in the rearview mirror, catching the fading figure of his girlfriend. A bitter smile crossed his face. Sorry?

Oh, the irony. His girlfriend, always uttering those three words because of her ex-boyfriend!

It dawned on him then-he didn't matter to her at all.

Was Edgar really that great? Every time he showed up, Sherilyn only had eyes for him!

As the evening came around, Gilbert checked his phone. It was disturbingly quiet-no missed calls, no messages. Nothing from Sherilyn all day!

The frustration bubbling inside him couldn't be contained any longer. He scrolled through his contacts and dialed a number.

On the other end was Yates Elliott. "Mr. Gilbert? What's got you calling today?"

"Cut the chatter. Where are you guys hanging out tonight? Alright, got it."

After hanging up, Gilbert grabbed his car keys and left his office, leaving Sherilyn behind-she clearly didn't need him.

Without him around, she was probably having the time of her life, right?

...

Sherilyn had been waiting at the front gate for 20 minutes, yet there was no sign of Gilbert.

She couldn't help but wonder, was he not coming at all?
