An hour later I was starving, miserable, and ashamed of myself. Joe had called my phone a dozen times and sent me twice as many text messages. But even though my anger had faded, I didn’t answer any of his attempts to get in touch with me. At first because I wanted to punish him. Then because I was horrified at my own behavior. It had taken way too long for me to accept his love, to trust in it. But he’d never given up on us. Time after time I’d run away, emotionally and physically, and every time he’d been there. Waited for me when he could have had any girl in the world.

And here we were again.

But something in me wouldn’t let me go back. Apologize and promise to do better. A small part of me thought there must be a reason I ran from him so easily. Maybe it was the right thing to do. Some dark corner of my mind knew we were doomed. That being loved by Joe was too good to be true. One day it would end and destroy me. Maybe it was better to just stay away.

I felt like I was losing my mind. Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes and I turned a corner blindly. I’d been stumbling around the city aimlessly, barely even seeing the splendor around me.

Mortified at the idea of weeping openly on the sidewalk, I hurried into a little coffee shop, hoping they had a restroom I could use. But as I stepped inside I almost walked right into someone. A tall, lovely young woman who looked as shocked to see me as I was to see her.

“Liss? Is it really you?”

“Oh my god.” My mouth hung open as she hugged me tight for a second and then pulled back, smiling.

“What the hell are you doing in New York?”

“I…Beth, I can’t believe this!”

She laughed. “Small world.”

I just shook my head, shocked. I hadn’t talked to her for months. When I first went on tour with Joe’s band, Beth worked for them as Ryan’s assistant. Or something. It was all a little hazy. But through all the drama, she’d been there. A great friend to me. But once she’d been fired we lost touch. Honestly, I never thought I’d see her again. It seemed oddly perfect that I’d run into her again after an argument with Joe.

“You okay, girl?”

“Yeah,” I said, trying to smile. “Just a weird day.”

“Well I’m so happy to see you.”

“Me too. What have you been up to?”

She shrugged, her short bob swinging artfully. “Same old, same old. Hey, do you want to sit down, have a cup of coffee? I mean, if you have time.”

“Of course. But weren’t you leaving?”

“Yeah. It’s my day off. All I’ve got to do is a ton of laundry. I’d much rather catch up with you.”

I laughed and nodded. We made our way over to a small table and sat down. “So, you said this is your day off.
