Chapter 11: Ringing in the New Year

Emily

When we landed, Mattie and I went our separate ways. We both had loads to do at home before we all met back up tonight to celebrate. The drive back to my house was a blur. There were a thousand things to do before the get together and even more to do before we went back to work the following week. I knew that I had plenty of time to get caught up because I still had tomorrow, but I just didn’t want to leave it until then. My OCD would bother me all night long thinking of the mountains of laundry that needed to be done and cases that I needed to look into before going back to work.

Once I arrived back home, I unpacked my suitcase and started to sort the laundry into piles. After I had finished sorting, I put on a load and went back into the living room to put on some music. I needed to clear my head and start looking through all the notes on the cases that I had to review. Plugging my phone into the sound system, I scrolled through my playlists and picked a random one to play. After pressing play, I sat my phone down on the speaker.

After grabbing my files out of my briefcase, I sat down on the couch to go over them. It was nice to be able to do this in the comfort of my home without interruptions. I liked being prepared for the week ahead. Some say that I’m too dedicated and work too hard, but I don’t have anything else to fill my time, so I don’t mind. Plus, it helps me get to know the kids and their personalities. I can help them better if I can understand what makes them tick.

I had gone through five files, made notes that needed to be made, and washed and dried three loads when I glanced at the time. It had really gotten away from me. Guess that’s what I get for being in my zone. It was already seven in the evening. I needed to get ready to head over to Jeremiah’s house because we were all supposed to be meeting up around nine.

I folded the three loads of clothes that I had washed and put them away. Once that was complete, I went into the bedroom to gather my outfit for the night. I was keeping it simple. It was only going to be Jeremiah, Sophia, Mattie, and a few people from the firehouse where Jeremiah worked. Getting dressed up didn’t sound appealing to me in the slightest. It would be a different story if we were going out somewhere, but I knew these people, so I felt comfortable enough in dressing down for the night. I grabbed a pair of dark jeans, a pale purple sweater, and my Mary Janes out of the closet. I pulled some panties out of my dresser drawer along with a bra and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
