With a flick of the wrist, I straightened the newspaper out onto the table. The coffee shop was loud, and I couldn’t help but glance up every once in a while, to watch the crowd. Every person was so different. It was one of the things I’d miss about New York—the diversity, the energy of so many people doing so many different things. Or, all doing the same thing, like getting their morning coffee.

A young couple stood in line. They didn’t hold hands; in fact, they didn’t do anything that made them look like a couple. It was an energy about them rather than any physical contact or how they were turned toward each other. That energy was something I wanted with a man.

When I pictured that man, he looked something like the guy I’d “rescued” yesterday, right here in this shop. Maybe I’d meet a man someday who would have that energy with me. Maybe he was waiting for me in San Diego. I smiled for a second and glanced back down at my paper.

I loved indulging in a fresh issue of the Times while sipping from a nice cup of coffee. But instead of the Times, I had some random no-name paper, given to me by a homeless man just down the street.

It was all about urban America, mostly pop culture. Not really my thing, but I couldn’t exactly say no to the guy. When he’d asked me for a couple of bucks in exchange for a newspaper, I’d figured what the hell.

Besides, now I had something to do with my morning. Rather than rush back to my dad’s place and feel stifled by his expectations, I could sit down, look interested in a newspaper, and take even more time for myself. Maybe the antics of the latest Hollywood breakup weren’t interesting to me, but they were a hell of a lot more interesting than one of my dad’s lectures.

As I pulled my cup to my lips and looked over the top edge of the paper, my gaze fell on a very familiar back and overcoat. The man’s sandy blond hair was still styled just as perfectly as it had been the day before.

His fidgeting was just as bad as it had been, too. Poor guy—he really needed his fix. I giggled under my breath. Should I even bother trying to talk to him again? He wasn’t on the phone. And he was super gorgeous.

But at the same time, he hadn’t seemed very interested in me yesterday.

I wasn’t sure why I was so interested, myself. I had San Diego and a teaching job waiting for me. In six months, I’d be out of here.

I went back to my paper, pulled into the drama of Philip and Jenna’s divorce. I couldn’t remember who Philip and Jenna were, exactly, although one of them looked vaguely familiar. Who paid attention to this stuff? I could barely manage the drama in my own life. Still, the more I read, the more captivated I became with their accusations of trysts and drug abuse.
