I glanced at my phone this morning and cringed, seeing Crystal's name again. Several weeks ago, I contacted an old mate of mine who was supposed to check Davies for me. He was a lawyer who specialised with taxes and financial commitments. Crystal had been threatening to report me to the tax office and I needed a second opinion. I wanted to be done with her, but that friend of mine hadn't contacted me back and I was getting worried that he hadn't managed to get anything.
I had a feeling Crystal wasn't going to just stop calling. She was fixated on me. She probably assumed that I would continue hooking up with her. I rejected the call and went to make myself a strong coffee. I had officially hit rock bottom of my pathetic existence. I wanted to hear Gina's voice just one last time, but that was impossible. We were done.
