I had been at Tasha's for three days.
Her apartment was smaller than mine had been but she had cleared out her second bedroom without being asked and put fresh sheets on the bed and told me to stay as long as I needed. That was Tasha. No drama about it, no conditions, just come and we'll figure it out.
I had nowhere else to go so I came.
The apartment was in Midtown, closer to the city than I was used to, and I could hear traffic from the bedroom window in a way I hadn't at the old place. I didn't mind it. It was better than the quiet that had settled over my apartment in the last few weeks after Brad stopped coming around and the rent stopped being paid and the reality of where things stood became impossible to ignore.
I had seen it coming.
I just hadn't wanted to see it.
