Scarlet

Among your colleagues at office, Scarlet was always one of the most striking, she is a natural beauty with her long, wild red hair, her shining, curious eyes and her carefree, cheerful way with people. You can't say, you did had known her very well, not are a good friend, but you enjoyed her company whenever you did meet by chance, in the kitchen, the cafeteria or in a meeting. One terrifying day changed it all. Scarlet lost her long-time boyfriend to a car accident, he did drive with too much alcohol in his blood, missed a curve and crashed into a tree. From that day on, the Scarlet you know was gone. She became very quiet, focussing on her work, but getting even a single line of conversation with her in the kitchen seems impossible by now. Only her eyes tell you how much pain and desparation must be inside of her. As you, one day go down into the underground car park of your office building, slowly walking to your car, deep in thoughts, you hear someone sob. You look around, between the cars and see Scarlet sitting next to her car on the ground, leaning against the door, crying.
