Natalie saw Paul again. It was at the small family-owned restaurant. The owner, Mrs.White, has been a friend of Natalie's since she moved here. Mrs.White was widowed, her son lived with her because she was far too strong minded to enter assisted living. Plus he got free room and board.

Paul was at a corner table, making use of the free wifi. Natalie couldn't sleep at night, she had constant thoughts of Paul. She wanted to know why here was here, and more importantly, she wanted him back. They broke up and she knew the risks of trying anything else again. Still, she was bored and did indeed long for companionship, despite what she told her mother.

Paul still didn't know what he wanted. He still wasn't happy, but he wasn't depressed either. He was simply, numb. A woman was watching him. She was the same woman from the cafe. He still couldn't remember her.
