#27BREAKING THE HABIT
Sebastian was very happy when she called him two weeks later. He was sitting in his apartment, music was playing, but he didn't notice which songs were to hear. He was frozen and waiting for her. He didn't realise how comfortable his armchair was, although it always was a pleasure to sit in this old piece of furniture. Here he could relax. Not now, he was tensed and highly irritated.
Then his phone rang. Finally! He jumped up and his hands trembled when he saw that it was Mia calling.
She didn't explain why she disappeared, she just mentioned she had written him an e- mail right after she came back from her class trip, informing him, she would get in touch later and she wouldn't work for him for a while. Then she didn't contact him for more than two weeks.
She asked whether he needed her for work. He didn't care about work, he had finished everything himself and without thinking about it, and he had lost overview a long time ago.
-Yes, of course, there is always something to do. - He said although he hadn't the slightest idea if there was anything. He just wanted to see her and every excuse, which would bring them together, would be good enough. She asked whether she might come over and pick up her work.
-Yes, of course. - He nodded, maybe even too soon. She seemed to be more distant than usual, even on the phone.
She would drop by the following day after school. He was already on cloud number nine. He didn't even care he would miss his lecture and it would have consequences. In Poland, you have to subscribe on attendance sheet for almost every lecture and tutorial and you are only allowed to be miss two times per semester. Whatever!
