A Story A Day. Story 156 of 365: Independence.

Gaby was fiercely independent, she lived on her own and had trouble sharing spaces with other people. She had had a couple of boyfriends, but had long decided to live her life alone. However, on moments like that, she wished she had someone with her. As she lay on the bed, feverish, she cursed herself, if she had someone, that someone would cook for her and take care of her. If only she weren't so stubborn. Gaby dragged herself out of bed and made herself something to eat. It was hard, but she managed. On a second thought, maybe independence was better than having someone to take care of her when she was sick.
