The silence is deafening. Jenna is staring at me, and there is nothing I can do other than stand here and take it. I honestly didn’t think I’d run into anyone out here. After talking with Tia for a while, I just needed to get some fresh air. I needed time to think about everything, and it wouldn’t work if I stayed home. Too many people can come and disturb you.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this is her territory, her private property. That’s exactly how she’s acting as if she has all

Growing up, mom made it a point to get us to learn how annoying that was. I break off another piece of jerky and pop it into my mouth. ‘Please forgive me, mom,’ I say to the universe then I smack the hell out of the jerky.
