The rain beats softly against the window as I stare out toward the view, papers in hand. People walking the streets below, look more like robots from this height. The tree- lined river running along the street, makes a hard left and fade off in the distance. I pause. Oh well, back to the matter at hand.
I am just a junior partner but it's something I've always wanted. Only three members in this firm, and I am an important part of it. I worked hard for a law degree and I want it to mean something. I am where I want to be, even in the place where I came from, Colorado. And, right now, I am with the person I love and care for. It couldn't' be better.
"What 's that Sam? Yes, I'll be right there."
Time to go see my boss on this and wrap it up. It's 4:30. I better start home. The traffic Is murder this time of the evening.
I've been driving this car for some time now. Perhaps a new one is in the works, with the new job, I think to myself, as I pull out of the parking lot and head toward the freeway. The wipers swish away the rain drops as I head for home.
"Oh god it's 6:30 already, and beginning to get dark," as I pull in the driveway. "Where is she? She didn't call or text me."
Last night, she said something that made me think. She said she's been watching me. I've been rooming with this tall, leggy blond for years. Lucinda is kind of crazy that way. She says some funny things some times. Most of the time I blow it off. This time it was different and I'm curious.
Oh well, as I retrieve my things. "I've got to get in the house."
