Well, it looks like my adventures with Ava are ending, at least for now. I have been waiting to hear from her since we last met around February 10th. My last message on Snapchat went unread, and I tried reaching out to her via her work phone number today but have yet to get a response. She showed no indication that she wanted to stop seeing me the last time we met. Just the opposite, she was making plans for the future.

I'll have to assume she got caught. Probably not the first time, either. She had been adding extra layers of deception to her routine. Ava must have received another wrist slap or a stern threat. I doubt it will stop her for very long.

In the meantime, I won't be searching for a replacement this month. I don't see anyone exciting, and the last two were disappointing. I am going to miss Ava. She was definitely a good fit. Meanwhile, the list of characteristics I will Accept is getting longer. I might have to accept moving forward without a relationship. I won't like it, but I am willing to accept it.
