I thought it best to give Sophie some breathing room, and I was so stunned over the blowout myself, so I took my time getting back to the hotel. Well, actually, the bags were so heavy and aplenty that I had no choice but to creep my way back home. But once I got there, I left everything in the lobby and, out of breath and sweating, asked reception to please take everything up to the room.

I then decided to lose myself on the Left Bank, going so far as the Luxembourg gardens. I figured the fresh air and lack of cash to rely on to take a cab home would do me some good, and the length of time I’d be away would surely lend a hand in helping Sophie calm down.

As I walk along the length of St. Michel, no carrier bags digging into my flesh, no credit cards or cash to access save for the lone five-Euro bill in my wallet, and with Paris’s beautiful environs at my visual disposal, I get to thinking about what I’ve done. I suppose that’s what a walk like this is good for.

A big part of me knows coming here unbeknownst to Andrew wasn’t one of my better plans, no matter how great an idea Paris is. And I know that keeping that tidbit of info from Sophie (and all the girls, for that matter) was probably one of my more foolish moves. But I needed this. For me. I needed to do something that wasn’t by the books, something that maybe, if I’d actually had the cash, would’ve done when I was unmarried, unattached. The fly the sails thing that Emily does!

Had I known that it would’ve sent me down this path, however, I don’t know that I would’ve done it. Not really speaking with Andrew, fighting with Sophie—oh, and the disappointment I’ll get from Emily… I don’t keep secrets from Em, or Lara either. They tend to put up with my shenanigans a bit better than the rest of the girls, always willing to ride in on a white horse and save me when things inevitably go sour.

I know I have a way of making my friends’ eyes roll and their faces go all pale when I reveal a less-than-stellar move I’ve made. Like with Claire that morning and how I didn’t exactly divulge the whole Blake mishap; I don’t want to share all of my secrets and stupid choices because, well… Dammit, I make so many of them, I fear eventually the girls will tell me they’re good and done with me and my antics. Selfish Jackie, Spoiled Jackie, Doesn’t Live in Reality Jackie. I wouldn’t blame them, though. I know I can be a spoiled brat sometimes. I know I don’t make things easy on them. It’s who I am. I’m a difficult woman with a screwed up past, and while I know Dr. Pierce says, “That’s not an excuse, Jackie,” sometimes I feel like it is. Or it should be.
