46

Today is a big day for Leila, the day she finally moves into her own apartment. She has been living with Amanda and it has been nothing short of liberating.

Seriously, when was the last time she woke up for consecutive days without any turmoil in her chest, without feeling like she was being choked up or trampled upon?

Without treading carefully around her own house like it was loaded with booby traps ready to sink her into an emotional wreckage.

There's no Tatum and Carmela here to avoid seeing all cozy and loved up, causing her unbearable anguish, there's no Adaline to walk eggshells around so she doesn't get scolded or abused.

She closes her eyes, standing in front of the mirror and sucks in a deep, long breath before she exhales slowly and opens her eyes.

It would have been a truly exhilarating feeling, only that deep in her heart, she misses Tatum, she misses his smell around the house, his touch, hearing his voice, being in his presence...

"Let it go Leila, don't think about him, he is not yours and you have to forget about him," she mutters to herself, determined to let the thoughts of Tatum go for good.

She checks herself out in the standing mirror, wearing a beige floral dress with short sleeves and a beige pair of sandals, her long beautiful auburn hair let down, all the way to her bum, she spins in front of the mirror and smiles at herself.

She hums a tune, moving her head to it and skipping to the living room when the smell of roasted turkey and waffles hit her nostrils and she almost shrieks as her stomach rumbles.
