Of course I don’t kill the guy.

I have no intention of killing him.

I don’t even mean to break his nose, but commenting on my sweet LuLu’s ass? Well, that’ll get your nose busted.

But something about that confrontation pounds me with a hammer of anxiety. I don’t know if it’s him or me.

After I drop his ass off at urgent care for his busted nose and begin the long drive back home, my hands are shaking.

I can’t drive straight through in my current condition, but I manage to get myself the fuck out of Texas, at least.

I purposely pick a hotel with no mini-bar in the room. One not even close to a real bar. I don’t want to let booze soothe the dark thoughts that might come back.

I lay in my hotel bed that night with the TV on. I choose to play The Office on Netflix, one episode after another, until I fall asleep. It’s the only thing that will work. That, and thinking about LuLu.

I pick up my phone and see several texts from her:

“Hope you’re OK. Where are you?”

“I’m not mad. Just let me know you’re OK.”

I text her back. “I’m good. Taking care of some emergency business. Be back a little later than expected, but I’ll be there for you.”

I wonder if she’s read my dating profile yet. I wonder if I’ve made a huge ass of myself. And I also wonder if she’s too good for me. Look at me. I’m a mess. I can’t let her spend the rest of her life worrying about my mental and emotional state.

I rub my eyes and turn off my phone. I turn up the volume on the TV and close my eyes. The sounds of Jim and Dwight arguing soothe me to sleep.

Silence and darkness would only let the nightmares back in.
