“I’m sorry…it’s going to be another late night. You don’t have to wait for me…” I spoke on the phone.
“Hang in there. We’ve all been through it. Drink or eat something sweet…” Ace suggested as he tried to cheer me up in his own supportive way.
He was my boyfriend now, but it didn’t feel that way at all. We had almost no time together now that just getting enough sleep was becoming a challenge in my daily life. Thankfully, we still had our weekends to ourselves, although I spent the majority of that time catching up on my sleep and making sure that I ate properly. I wondered if Ace would break up with me if I didn’t find time to spend with him soon.
