DAY 25: Tales Of Vodka, Long Days, And No Answers On The Love Life
Day 25 Of How To Move On From A Man — 1LD
It was 8 pm before I heard anything from GG. A text message.
“Sorry I missed spin class this morning. Early meeting. What a drag.”
It wasn’t like her to not let me know she wasn’t going to be there ahead of time. Nor would she be so absent on her phone during the day. She could normally sneak away from the office for a minute to send a message or make a quick call. Things must have been tense today.
‘No sweat’, I replied. ‘You free for a nightcap?’
She responded with a thumbs-up emoji and I quickly put on my shoes and walked the few houses down to hers.
I knocked on the door and she answered, still in her suit, half tore open at the blouse. My poor friend looked tired, and defeated, everything I felt inside.
“Wow, rough day?” I asked, venturing into her kitchen and fixing us a vodka soda each.
“It was the worst. I didn’t have time for lunch or anything. And then I had this drinks thing for Taylor. I tell you what, you should consider yourself lucky to not be dating a Gallo brother anymore.”
