The restroom in Assembly Hall is one of my least favorite restrooms at Heritage Gardens, but I desperately need to wash my hands. My Lamax bar soap arrived in the mail the other day. I carry a sliver of it in a Ziploc bag in my pocket.

I burst through the swinging door and make a beeline across the ghastly tiled floor toward the sink, fumbling to open my bag of soap along the way. I don’t wait for the water to heat up. I vigorously scrub the spot where Hailey just touched my arm, but despite my efforts, I can still feel her soft touch. No matter how hard I scrub I still feel it. Somewhere in the back of my mind I know this is an exercise in futility, but I scrub even harder. I continue to scrub until my soap is completely dissolved away.

I turn off the water and stare at myself in the mirror. I shake my head at the pathetic man staring back at me. Get a grip. Look at yourself. You’re a mess.

I know I’m a mess, but I don’t know what to do with myself.

Just let it go. Let the past stay in the past.

But it’s not right. The way I feel about her isn’t right.

You can’t change your feelings.

Yes, I can.

No, you can’t.

Yes, I can.

Look at me. I’m talking to myself. I really need to get a grip. How long have I been in here? I need to get back to the meeting.
