...and on...

No word yet, then, arriving at work today, she was unexpectedly there. Apparently she cancelled the second half of her fortnight's leave as she has some sort of family commitment later and needs to save leave for that. I offered to make her a coffee, she accepted, we had a chat about this and her upcoming fast - one meal a day for a week (or was it a month?), no onions or garlic - religious reasons apparently but it also helps with slimming....

Anyway, later in the day she brought a blank pad of paper and left it on my desk, I assumed because she wanted to talk to me, needed an excuse, and then hadn't been able to speak to me as my colleague opposite was there (the office e-mail system was down today). I was going to text her a mobile phone message "?", but then before I could she texted me "fancy lunch tomrrn?". Oh I do, I do, you have no idea how much, but I had to reply that I'd booked leave, so unless she wanted to meet me in the West End, it would have to be Thursday. This not looking too keen is all very well, but it's incredibly frustrating.

Damn, I want this woman so much. I'm trying so hard not to obsess, to make her one woman among many; I've invited the sister-in-law out for drinks to a frankly somewhat frosty reception (she appears to have a New Man), I've invited the ex, Jenny to come to London exclusively to visit me (she says she'll e-mail me once they get their computer set up after moving house), but still, all the time, my thoughts turn back to Indira.... Please, please give me a break here....!
