It’s never been this hard before to not abuse my power.

First and foremost, it’s not as though I have a shit ton of it to abuse.

This isn’t my nonprofit.

I’m not a major donor.

I don’t sit on the board or whatever they call the structure that makes all the very important life-changing decisions.

The most power I really have is in creating our team’s schedules. Approving and denying vacations. Scheduling appropriate on call shifts for those with their pilot’s license. Insuring no one team member is run more ragged than others. Now, of course, in doing so, this really requires me to not play favorites, which is super easy; however, it also means not treating myself or my time or my wants as more valuable than theirs. This – thanks to my smooth talking, culturally rich, sex machine – has become increasing difficult. Knowing his schedule and wanting to spend all the time we can together tempts me into writing my own so that we have more moments together, yet I can’t do that in good conscious.

I don’t like the idea of fucking over everyone else who has lives of their own they wanna be living just so I can wake up with my boyfriend’s head between my legs more often.

That wouldn’t be fair.

Was it the neighbor she thought was stalking her?

Was it the husband coming home early from his so-called boys’ trip?

You know it’s almost always the husband who murders the wife, which in itself is very fucking unsettling.

Also, I’m obsessed with the way this podcast is basically telling this serial case like a murder mystery book versus a long-winded lecture I didn’t mean to click on.

Bekka Weyrick’s voice enters my ear bud once more at a much lower tone. “You have to understand. This woman had no idea the hell she was about to endure when that knob turned. She gripped the book in her hands a little tighter. She was doing everything she could to stay calm; however, her instincts were not only screaming something wasn’t right, but they were also shouting something was about to go very, very wrong, which is why when he opened his mouth and said-”

“Hey!” an unexpected male voice greets forcing me to pick up the nearby stapler in self-defense. Daniel Wainwright, my ex-husband, cheerfully smiles in the doorway of my office at the same time he jokes, “And here I thought we were more cordial than that.”

“Sorry,” I lightly laugh, place the stapler back where it belongs, and usher him inside. “I’ve been listening to
