The
photos
were left with him. He felt a bit sad, assuming now that the photos were unimportant or wrong. He would've been more happy had Jasmine taken them with her. Instead he was here staring at them trying to make sense out of them.
Jasmine had left his apartment almost immediately upon seeing the photos. It was almost like she knew what she was looking for, and whatever had been contained in this package was not that. Now he studied each image, trying to figure out why they hadn't pleased Jasmine. Was it because there was no human faces in it? Or because the car was the incorrect color, make, or model? Or was the house the wrong one? What possibly could this mysterious woman want?
He was paralyzed between checking his phone for new messages from her and the images, trying to figure something -- anything -- out. After two hours he was no longer trying to figure out why the photos were the wrong ones for Jasmine, and instead simply trying to figure out what they were about in the first place. Independent of Jasmine why were they in this blue package. Why was it sent to the
PO Box
next to his'? And why had he received the same styled blue
package
in the first place?
He felt safe assuming that the blue package that ended up in his PO box was a mistake. It was meant to arrive at PO box 915, not 914, which now that he thought about it wasn't his PO box at all. He was the one to retrieve mail from it, but it belonged to the
Non Profit
he worked for. So it could have to do with anybody at his work. But then again he had just decided that the package was never meant for PO box 914 anyways, and so it didn't have anything to do with anyone from work...
The presence of a
dog's gaze
pressed onto the side of his face. He looked at the tall, white dog and felt a little bit of warmth. And with that warmth he finally felt just how much his brain had been hurting while trying to make sense out of this nonsense.
"Come here, boy. Good boy."
He sat there petting Todd, thinking about simpler things. Or better put, not thinking. Just petting. He woke up later without ever remembering falling asleep.
