I sat there, at my desk, alone in my office, deep in thought. I heard the vacuum cleaner buzzing in the background. I thought about the work I could not yet bring myself to start. I thought about the things I could do when I got home. I thought about her.

I stood there, amidst the chaos of the game, deep in thought. I acknowledged players buzzing around in the background. I did the bare minimum to get me through. I thought about the things I could do when the game was over. I thought about her.

I lay there, in my bed, darkness and heat palpable outside, deep in thought. Deafening silence outside. I did not sleep.

I thought about her.
