It’s over kept ringing in her ears as if it were on rewind. Mira had called Sam earlier that day for one of their afternoon lovemaking sessions. She expected Sam to drop everything like she had done so many times before, but Sam dropped a bomb on her instead, and abruptly ended their relationship. She said that Mira was too clingy and demanding. Sam also said that she, too, had a business to run, and couldn’t afford to drop her clients at a moment’s notice for a booty call. Mira was hurt. She had grown accustomed to Sam being at her beck and call. Mira was used to getting her way. Midway through her adolescence, GG stepped in and moved Mira in with her. Rose gladly gave up her daughter. She preferred spending time partying to taking care of a child. Trying to make up for the neglect, GG spoiled Mira to death, giving her anything she wanted. Now as an adult Mira still expected people to give in to her whims. But Sam had had enough. Not being the sulking or begging type, Mira didn’t skip a beat.
