A few days later...
"Hi Amelie, I won't be in today. I'm sick."
"Alright, Cal. I'll let Mr. Volachov know. Feel better soon, ok!"
Calvin hadn't technically lied to his boss's receptionist. He had thrown up this morning - twice - and his headache was bad enough that it was hard enough to stand, but Calvin knew that if Viktor Volachov knew he was staying home because he went to a party on a Sunday night and was fighting off the hangover, Calvin would probably lose his job. Calvin wasn't worried about it. He just didn't want to work today.
Calvin heard the bedroom door open and close and then the door to his apartment opened an closed and Calvin was glad that he didn't have to face the woman he had woken up to this morning. He didn't remember bringing her home and didn't remember her face either. Doubtless she felt the same as she began her walk of shame back to her own home.
Calvin had learned that the alcohol and women made the pain go away - but only while he was being active. The morning after the parties, the pain came back. It had only been a couple of days since he went to the bar and left with a prostitute, and he hadn't done that again, but had encounters with others.
Now that the woman was gone, Calvin felt the emptiness inside him again along with a familiar sense in his mind. An image came into his mind of his injured wolf form and Calvin recognized Dawn Wind. Calvin didn't reply as he buried his face in his hands. The tears didn't come today as they had in the past couple of days.
The coffee finished and Calvin poured a cup, drew the shades, and turned off the light. He sat in the darkest corner and sipped his coffee - the light made the headache unbearable. He finished his coffee and climbed back into bed and pulled the blankets over his head. As he fell asleep, Dawn Wind sent him another message.
"Star Gazer..."
