My medication was kicking in and the darkness was starting to lift. I tried to get my blonde uninvited guest with the overly skillful tongue out of my head. He was invading my thoughts, and I wasn’t used to that. My days were spent at work, the gym, and my nights were spent at home, reading a book or talking to my dad on the phone. We were talking now almost twice a week. This issue with my mom brought us closer and in a way. He was with Bonnie and they planned on coming to see me as soon as he could get away from the store. Bonnie had never been to New York City and she was itching to come. Harper skyped me a few times and planned on coming home within the week. She was shocked at the news about my mom and Kris. I continued thinking about Annie and how desolate she looked. I couldn’t help but feel pity for her. She was lonely and obviously still in love with my mom. How much damage my mother had caused the people who loved her? Was she still doing this to others in her life? I wanted to give her a piece of my mind and I hoped one day I could at least tell her how lousy she truly was.
