Anyways, we were supposed to have a dinner, and speak in French all night. I made everything, cooked all day, and then waited and she never showed. She's gone Kyle. Gone from Duplicity. She never showed up at her apartment again. She just disappeared. I mean, I know that happens here, but I didn't think about knowing someone....
