It was as if my sixth sense somehow knew that I wasn’t going to be staying here that long.
Whatever the reason, I only needed to pack up my closet, some dishes, and blankets.
Other than that, the apartment had come furnished, and none of it was mine.
Other than some household items and everyday shit, I could possibly get by with only four to five
boxes from Lowes.
Grinning and excited, I headed to the bathroom and turned on the shower.
I frowned at the empty shampoo bottle.
Shit. I’d forgotten to go get more.
I’d meant to stop by on my way home, but Theo’s actions had left me a bit frazzled and confused.
I looked at the small bottles that I’d gotten from Macy that were spilling out of my purse that I’d brought with me from my car, then at my empty shampoo bottle, then decided… fuck it.
I brought it into the shower with me and then cranked the knobs up as high as they would go.
Sadly, it wasn’t much.
I couldn’t afford the nicest of apartments with my internship at my current lawyer’s office, but
thank God that my internship was coming to an end.
I literally only had two days to go until I was finished.
Until I could find an actual job that would pay me actual money instead of a joke of a salary while I tried to get experience for a job that required ‘on the job experience.’
And, seeing as I couldn’t get that kind of experience without actually being a goddamn lawyer and
practicing, I’d had to revert to interning to get the experience that the one law firm I wanted to work at required.
The shampoo smelled off, but I put it out of my mind as I considered what I was going to do next.
Should I apply at the lawyer’s office in Kilgore? I knew that there were a few in Longview, which
was a twenty-minute drive from Kilgore. Then there was always Bear Bottom where my sister lived,
which was about a fifteen-minute drive in the opposite direction.
I could make it work.
I knew I could.
Feeling much better about my options, I rinsed my hair free of the shampoo, then lathered the
conditioner into my hair.
Sadly, I ended up using about half the damn bottle on one wash.
Worst purchase ever.
Leaving the conditioner in to soak, I shaved my legs, armpits, and naval.
It was when I was finishing up with my ankles that the sensation of burning started to penetrate my head.
