Everything seemed to be a blur. Following the same pattern day end and day out, she had grown tired of the repetitiveness. There were times when she yearned for something else. Screamed on the inside that more would fill her otherwise mundane life yet nothing ever changed. It was always the same. These days, she felt as if she existed for the sake of just existing, failing to see her importance especially to him. The one person she thought would always need her as much as she needed him.
Life wasn't so simple with him. They had been together for three years having met on the crowded streets of the city, Cidade. In the beginning, everything was great. But gradually, things changed. Their first year together held excitement. Not knowing what would happen next. Those hand holding moments down to the secret kisses in public. He set fire to her world and she would do anything for him.
After the first year, Cassie was in love. No doubt about it and said it in her very own way through the smiles on her face or the hug of her body to him. But actually saying the words she found somewhat difficult. Something kept the actual words from leaving her mouth without the young woman knowing why. This was one of the reasons why they fought. Another being, and he would never admit it, his growing distance with her. In spite of everything that happened, Cassie did love her boyfriend still.
At the two year mark, that's when she began to feel drained. That even with him, their relationship fell in that same repeated pattern. One day when Cassie was at his apartment looking for the earrings she assumed to have lost there, she discovered a ring in a box among his things stored away safely. She had no idea how long he had it but one thing was for certain, he didn't seem to have any intentions of giving it to her. Even if he did, she wasn't sure she could give him an appropriate answer that would chase away his doubts and worries. That she was committed to him and him alone. After three years, they still had not moved in together nor had he mentioned anything about the ring. She didn't either. They argued quite frequently and spent more time doing other things. Even though Cassie was sure he still loved her, the damage had been done. Whether irreparable remains to be seen. Maybe she should have approached the subject of them moving in together, taking that step to fix what was broken. She considered it as she rode the subway train to the plaza, her stop. When she got on at a quarter to six, just as the last bit of sunlight was disappearing over the horizon, a whole horde of people had filed in beside the redhead.
On her homebound trip she usually took up a seat near the door but this time Cassie was forced to seek accommodations elsewhere. More precisely, the back of the car unless she wanted to stand sandwiched between other passengers playing a game of bounce when the train's movements became bumpy. Luckily, she spotted two empty faded blue seats at the back and the woman discreetly and politely made her way toward them black heels making a clicking sound as she went on her way. Occupants were in their own world playing on smartphones or otherwise engaged in the local paper even at this late hour.
No one, that she was aware of, paid attention to her which was fine. She wasn't in the best of moods after a long day at work of complaining clients. Once she navigated the sea of unknown bodies, she reached the seats firmly sitting down in the one closest to the small window where a simply darkened view of the tunnel greeted her. Tendrils of fiery red hair fell in droves reaching all the way past her shoulders. Naturally pink lips pressed together at one point opened slowly revealing pearl white teeth and to sigh. Her face was oblong and skin a radiant ivory. She had a slender body that fit perfectly into the form-fitting black dress with short splits on the sides revealing a portion of her legs when she crossed them and placed her purse in her lap with her hands on it. For the most part, the seat next to her was left abandoned and no one had come to take it. Reaching inside of her purse, she took out her phone finding one missed call and a text. From her boyfriend. It must've been ringing when she boarded and was unable to hear it. She read the text. 'Happy Anniversary, I'll make it up to you. Working late. I love you.' It was their anniversary, she nearly forgot. Not that it mattered since they wouldn't be spending it together. Just another thing to add to the lousy day, Cassie thought as her blue eyes went to the window.
