I'm pretty sure she has actually quit this time because she wasn't getting enough hours. My feelings for her have been getting stronger, the problem is either she somehow wasn't aware of that (course in mind-reading needed, perhaps) or wasn't prepared to allow me the distance I needed. Still, she deserves an explanation and if I find out that she has definitely quit, she'll get one- via Facebook. Emotionally coward that I am, telling her how I felt to her face was just too damn hard.
