Kirsten pulled the list she had made out of her purse. With any luck, she’d be in and out of the grocery store in a flash, which worked for her since her commute back to her place would take a good thirty minutes. She and her parents only lived about fifteen miles apart, but with the traffic, it took half an hour to get to their place. She thought that was a good thing when she found her apartment. It would stop her parents from just dropping by, but she had underestimated her mother’s desire to be a helicopter parent—even to her adult kids.

It seemed that everyone in the city had the same idea that she had to run to the grocery store before the chaos started. She grabbed one of the last available carts and pushed her way into the store, carefully avoiding everyone who was stopping at the entrance to pick up bags of chips that were on sale. All she needed was some cereal, eggs, milk, and bread. Maybe, if she felt brave, she’d find a good bottle of wine and some grapes and cheese to go with it to help celebrate the New Year. She was hoping that she’d be able to stay awake this year to actually watch the ball drop. Usually, she was in a strange city dealing with jet lag, going to bed early to try to catch some sleep before having to head back out on another flight. She was happy to be home this year, for the first time in a very long time.

She had made her way around the store and grabbed a bottle of wine and the cheese she liked. She was ready to check out, but the lines were long. Kirsten searched for the shortest line as if that would help to get her out of the store faster and parked her cart and herself behind the guy in front of her. It seemed that everyone in the store decided to check out at the same time. People were pushing and shoving each other as if that would get them to the front of the line faster. When the person behind her bumped her with the cart, propelling her and her cart into the person in front of her, she wanted to shout and tell the person to watch what they were doing. Instead, all she could do was turn around and stare at the guy who had taken down half the damn line.

“You,” she shouted.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry,” he said, helping to pick up the stuff that had fallen out of her cart. He stood and looked her over, a smile covering his handsome face. “Kirsten.”

“What are you doing here, Drew?” she asked.

“This is my neighborhood,” he said, “I thought you said that you lived in Brooklyn. What are you doing in this area?”

“Um, my parents live here. I was visiting them,” she said. Her brain felt as though it was muddled, and everything seemed as jumbled as the line of people who were shooting them both dirty looks.
