Molly

I managed to make it to work at my new job at the tavern on the outskirts of town every day that I was scheduled. I plastered on a smile and went through the motions of working, but that was about all I could handle.

When I wasn’t at work, I was sleeping or staring off into space and wishing for the oblivion of sleep.

My life felt so empty without Scout and Grant in it. I’d had to ban myself from the computer because I kept doing obsessive internet searches to see if I could find any tidbits of news about them on the entertainment sites.

I’d also bawled for two straight days after looking up a child development website and discovering that Scout was most likely sitting up on his own and possibly even beginning to crawl. I was missing so many of his firsts, and I was just going to keep missing more and more of them.

Avery was being a great friend. She stopped by regularly to check on me and invite me to do things, but I just couldn’t drum up the energy to participate. I knew she was worried about me, but I had no clue how to break free from this all-consuming depression.

When she’d finally had enough of my moping, she gave me an exasperated sigh and said, “We have to figure out a way for you to get back to living a real life.”

“I have a real life,” I grumbled.

“Working and sleeping is bare minimum living, Molly. You need to get out and see people, breathe in a little fresh air, and have some fun. You used to be so full of zest for life, but now all you want to do is sleep.”

I knew she had my best interests at heart, but I honestly didn’t know how to get back to the things I used to enjoy. They weren’t any fun for me now. The one time I’d tried to attend a yoga class after Grant and Scout’s departure, it had churned up so many emotions that I’d run out of the studio in tears, without even bothering to grab my yoga mat.

My brother and Dani kept stopping by my apartment to check in on me. They invited me to join them on all kinds of outings, but being around two madly in love people was not something I could handle right now.

My mom kept delivering baked goods that I didn’t have the appetite to eat. My dad had even called a couple of times, which was surprising, since he acted like he was practically allergic to the telephone.

Although I knew my family and friends were worried and only wanted what was best for me, I couldn’t seem to shake this funk. The two best parts of my life had left Brunswick Bay Harbor and flown back to California without me. I was destined to live a lonely life without them.
