My phone vibrates in my pocket. I glance at the clock on the wall—six p.m. Time to get the hell out of here. I finish cleaning my station before locking it up and heading out into the lobby. Rex is leaning against the counter, talking to a couple of customers when he sees me out of the corner of his eye. He immediately shifts his weight, turning his back toward me. I try to hold back a smile as I head out the door.

Even though it’s been a couple of months since the day I broke his nose—he’s still not speaking to me. Thankfully, neither he nor Brant breathed a word to Smitty, so I still have a job and a place to live. I guess all is good. Including the fact that he’s not talking to me. My work environment has never been better. He saves all of his rude smartass comments for Brant or whoever will listen to them because, thank fuck, it’s no longer me.

I pull my phone out of my pocket as I climb the stairs to my apartment. The text is short and simple.

Henley: 132 Tower Street (Walk out of your apartment and turn right. Seven blocks and you’re there). See you at 7!

It makes me happy to see she’s using her phone. Even though, I know she doesn’t like the whole idea of carrying it around with her, I feel a whole lot better knowing she has it. I don’t text her back because she knows that nothing would keep me from showing up at her place tonight. The only problem is I can’t go to the bar with her. I feel guilty as hell, but Mike’s words kept playing over and over in my mind today. I know he’s right. I don’t need to be in an environment that promotes drinking. It’s what’s best for my recovery and me. I just hope Henley understands.

I guess because I’m not able to go with her that I’ll need to tell her why. It’s time. She needs to know about my past and how it will affect our lives. She already has a good idea that I’ve had problems with drugs and alcohol, but I’ve never actually told her the entire story of why. I’m just thankful I’m sober and happy.
