“That’s all. I have a job. And I have Jill. And Ben. And some other friends.”
“Jill and Ben can visit Chicago,” Porter said. “And you can always find another job.”
“Come write for my magazine,” Rose said. “Hell, I don’t even know if you’re a good writer, but if you suck at it you can make my coffee and shit.”
Even making Rose’s coffee sounded better than sitting at my cubicle, making phone calls, trying to fill the ad space for sporting events people rarely attended.
“My apartment though…”
“The one you rent?” Porter asked. “Or do you own?”
“Rent,” I said. “I wish I owned.”
“Fuck it,” Porter said. “Just leave. What are they gonna do, keep your security deposit? They’re gonna keep that anyway. Have you ever gotten a deposit back, all of it?”
I hadn’t. I shook my head.
“It’s settled,” Porter said. “You’re coming to Chicago. You’ll stay with me.”
“And work for me,” Rose said.
So it was settled. If I was going to make a change, I needed to truly make a change. But what did that change mean exactly? Was I going to give up sex?
What do you think? Hell fucking no!
But I was moving to Chicago, and maybe…just maybe Mandy would find a sense of worth in a whole new playground.
The End.
