The apartment she shared with Hannah felt dingy, and smaller than ever before, especially after spending time in the ornate and luxurious Parker Capital building.

It was dark, cramped and full of old furniture and some boxes still unpacked from the move.

She got home, stripped off her clothes and jumped in the shower, trying to scrub away the shame and madness of the day.

What had she done? What had she been thinking moving to New York in the first place?

Well, whatever she’d been thinking, it was certainly over now. Finished.

She’d been handed a wonderful job on a silver platter and she’d quite simply cracked under the pressure.

The tears mixed with the hot water from the showerhead, blending it all together.

After her shower, she changed into sweats and a t-shirt, then sat down at the small rickety table in her tiny kitchenette and ate a bowl of Greek yogurt with Splenda and blueberries.

Halfway through her yogurt, she picked up the phone and called home.

Nobody answered, and it went to voicemail. “Hey guys, it’s me,” she said. “I—I just wanted to call and talk. Ummm….I have something I want to discuss. Okay. Call me when you can. Love you, bye.”

She didn’t want to tell them she needed to come home over a voicemail, but she wanted to at least prepare them for what was coming.

Her family would welcome her back with open arms, she knew that. But still. Wouldn’t they be surprised and a bit disappointed that she couldn’t even last two weeks in the Big Apple?

She finished her yogurt and washed the bowl, along with some of the other dishes from the morning and the previous night.

Hannah wasn’t a very clean person, so that left the bulk of the household duties on Sigourney’s shoulders.

It was the kind of thing that might have become a problem, but wouldn’t now that she was going to leave.

Hannah got home about an hour later from her job at the literary agency where she worked as a junior agent. It was a job that didn’t pay well enough, and the agency was a small boutique place, but the position was still coveted and came with plenty of freedom.

When she got in, Hannah acted as if she immediately knew something was wrong. Her red hair was practically orange, and it was frizzy and hung in waves over her slim shoulders. “What happened?” she said, clomping inside in her heavy shoes and slamming the door shut and locking it.

Sigourney was just finishing tidying the living room. She had a cloth in one hand and a spray bottle in the other. “Nothing,” she replied, reflexively.

“Nothing? You look shell-shocked.”

“I had a very bad day,” she admitted.

“Come here, let me give you a hug, silly.” Hannah held her arms out wide.

“I don’t want a hug.”

“Come here and let me hug you. Don’t be a brat.”

Sigourney did as told, and got a big warm hug from her friend. Hannah smelled like fresh Juicy Fruit gum and vanilla. Her face was rounded, with freckles sprinkled liberally across her nose and cheeks.
