One of my characters was at the JC and we had lunch together. We didn't say much, she only said they missed me and were here for me, then I went to work.

I was thinking about my other current fantasy, my coworker, and I knew I was struggling with who I wanted to focus my energy on...but my coworker came to work today (IRL) and I tried talking with him but he's so distant because he's so busy with work. I realized there's not much to chase if I'm not even on his radar.

Now I'm stuck with choosing between a real-life coworker who hardly knows I exist, and my characters whose been with me for the past seven months.
