CHAPTER TEN
By the time I got home that evening, I was weirdly buzzed and excited about the night out. It was strange what a day of deadlines could do for a girl. And so instead of crawling into my pyjamas and my bed, I pulled on my skinniest jeans, added Alexâs most washed-out, wrecked band T-shirt and filled my hair with so much dry shampoo I looked like a troll doll. Once I had applied my blunted Bad Gal eyeliner pencil, sharpened it up and applied it again, I considered myself ready to go out in Williamsburg.
âThatâs some big hair youâve got going on.â Alex walked through the front door, dropping a brand new stack of packing boxes on the sofa and his door keys on the coffee table. âWhatâs up with that?â
âGo big or go dirty,â I explained. âAre you sure I canât lure you out tonight? Itâll be fun? Probably?â
âAs much as youâre selling it â¦â He stood up, his black T-shirt and blue jeans covered in dust. I was a bad housewife. âLast night was enough excitement for me.â
âMe too,â I admitted, clambering over the boxes to get a hug. He smelled sweaty and disgusting and amazing. âBut I promised Jenny and Louisa weâd go for dinner.â
âCanât argue with ladiesâ night,â he said. âAnd besides, I get to play babysitter.â
âYouâre getting very good at it,â I replied, rubbing on lip balm and checking the time. âLouisa is just putting Grace down. We wonât be late, I swear.â
âNo worries,â he said, slipping his hand inside my back pocket and giving my bum a squeeze. Aah, romance. âI have so much to do. I might have been a little overoptimistic on our packing schedule.â
I looked around at all the full and half-full boxes in the living room. It was weird watching him pack up our little apartment. Even though I hadnât lived there that long, I had managed to amass enough stuff to qualify for an intervention on Hoarders. My collection of vintage glasses, bought in bulk on eBay once a year when Mad Men came back on, were already wrapped in newspaper and carefully stacked in the kitchen. The assorted prints Iâd bought at every craft fair I went to were in a pile next to our books, unframed and unhung, despite what I had said when I bought them and, most terrifyingly, there was my wardrobe. Iâd told Alex to leave it to me since âit wouldnât take longâ and swore that I would be able to âwhack everything in a couple of suitcases on Saturday morningâ. When Iâd said it, Iâd believed it but having just spent an hour poking around in there for an outfit, I wasnât quite so sure anymore. He was going to have a fit when he saw the number of ballet flats I owned. I was almost certain they were multiplying in there ⦠If only I could stop losing the left shoe, I wouldnât need to keep buying new ones.
