PRESENT
I remember sitting inside a cab, happy out of my mind. A great pay-check. A great boyfriend. My best friends getting married. What the f**k has happened to our collective lives? When did we become so miserable?
Here I am now, sitting inside a similar cab, pissed out of my mind.
Fifteen minutes later, I am standing in front of my apartment, thinking that the long walk home definitely helped me clear my mind. A little.
I open the door ajar and get in. But before I can even get in properly, two broad arms are covering my neck, “Where have you been, baby? Did you know how worried I was? I called your friends, even called Jeff. Dan was trying to call you on your phone, so I figured you’re not even at work. And, you never leave your phone, I literally just got scared out of my mind.
