Hayden, you’re right.” After I had given my big spiel about how disappointed I was in all of them for not showing up for the public service project, I felt bad that I had been so harsh. Everyone deserved to have a little fun. But hearing Trisha accept everything I had to say with the right spirit really made me feel good. However, no one else was saying anything. Then my cell phone rang. I had forgotten to turn it off before the meeting had begun. I quickly answered it. “Yeah, what’s up?” “Hey, it’s me, Creed. I’m just touching base with you. I know you were meeting up with your girls. Is everything straight?” “You’re interrupting. I’m in the middle of that meeting right now!” “I’m sorry, don’t bite my head off. I was just checking,” he replied. “I’m sorry. I have to call you back. I should have turned off my phone.” “Alright, call me back ...” I hung up before he could even finish. I was bummed with how I was treating my line sisters and ashamed at how I was treating my man.
