She was killing time before going to vote and going to get some Pho that would hopefully knock her cold out. It was one of those November days when the sky was so blue and the temperature had a 40 degree range.
She was into him, and was going to play this like it was the most important thing in her life. Besides completing her mystery book, it kind of was. People often forget that the only thing they really care about is that hand to hold when you're in the hospital. She had looked far and wide for this one, and was pleased to find someone who shared her ... je ne sais quoi.
"do you still have those shrooms I was too afraid to take last year"?
He texted back immediately "yes".
It didn't matter to her whether it was going to be a good trip or. bad trip. She wanted to go beyond his walls, and she wanted in. She felt that no matter what - the fungus would solve that issue pronto.
Sitting at the concert at the fox, he had said something so cryptic and cute: "I wasn't going to tell you this, but I'm going to - I love that you did this. This was something I really wanted to do, and I can't believe you did it."
The concert didn't turn into magic, but it was a decent time had by them. The fans acted as if it was the be all. Narcissi just knew her drink bill was going to be huge. Why did she always pay for everything? She joked with him that it was a power play, but was it really a joke.
Coming back from Atlanta, she awoke with her eyes crusted like sausages. It was not a good look. She was going to spend a good chunk of her capital to introduce him to the world she loved - her hometown. She was kind of sure she wasn't going to rally the loved ones in the shadows there. It felt awkward just thinking about it, but she was going to play it by ear and eat wings of fire.
This man mattered to her. She was going to drive 16 hours to experience something.
Now to heal.
