MEREDITH
The penthouse that was my new home was absolutely stunning. I mean, I grew up wealthy, but I never dreamed I’d live on Billionaire’s Row.
I wasn’t one of those Jersey Girls who ran to the big city every chance she got, so I was sort of a tourist in Manhattan. I liked it, though.
The energy. The history. The architecture. Even the crowds.
But I was lonely. Even working again, I felt so damn alone.
Mario was always around. Not in the penthouse. But downstairs if I needed something. Today, he escorted me to and from the Manhattan location for St. E’s. Afterwards, he informed me that would be the way of things.
So, I didn’t need any of those bus routes I’d printed.
That was twenty minutes of my life I wasn’t getting back. Oh well.
Chewing my lip, I thought about the glass of white wine I was going to pour when I got home and sighed.
Almost there. Just as soon as traffic clears.
