As night settled in the city, Neal and I found ourselves curled up on his sofa laughing at a sitcom he found on one of the movie platforms, a box of pizza in front of us. We enjoyed each other’s company, and even FaceTime’d Allegra to check in with her.
Spending time like this was amazing, and I was pleased with how quickly things changed by simply removing myself from a complicated and nerve-wracking situation.
“I can’t believe you have me watching this!” I laughed as I glanced over at Neal.
He sat on the other side of the sofa with a slice of pizza in his hand, shrugging his shoulders. “This is a classic. I don’t see what your problem is.”
Rolling my eyes, I stood from the sofa and made my way towards the kitchen to make myself another drink. “Do you want another whiskey?”
