Only I didn’t move.
I just thought about moving.
I parked outside and sat in my car.
Shivering. Shaking.
I bit my bottom lip and thought about calling Steph.
No. Texting Steph.
I’d meet her anywhere she wanted.
Poppy and Katie too.
Steph could be on the prowl.
I could have a few drinks to calm down.
Then I could ask Poppy if I could spend the night at her place.
Is that how you want to live your life, April?
I knew what I wanted.
What I needed.
It was almost like a drug at this point.
Coming from work and…
My phone lit up.
A call from Seb.
I smiled and my eyes filled with tears.
It felt like instant safety when I saw his name.
“Hey,” I answered the call.
“Hey yourself,Auggie. What’s up?”
“Just getting home from work.”
“Still selling spaghetti?”
“Sauce, Seb. It’s sauce.”
I had the strength to get out of my car and walk to my building.
“You need to find a better job,” he said. “Or sell something more fun.”
“Says the guy who is on the worst hockey team in the league?”
“You can try to take shots at me, April. I’m still making eight figures a season doing what I do.”
“Asshole,” I said.
