Pumpkin Spice and Everything Not Nice

Ch.1

Present Day, September 1st

In a bar in New York city in a hole in the wall bar that has a flashing neon sign of a margarita being drained and refiled as Pumpkins dot the entrance of the shop as well as Garlin of leaves. Winifred now twenty-four years old and is sobbing into an empty glass of wine. Winifred is in a brown sweater and tan skirt and brown boots. "I-I can't believe he did this to me." 

Winifred has a specific routine she does everyday getup, make coffee, make her bed, brush teeth and get dressed. After that is done, she sits relaxing in her apartment and reads a good book while she orders some breakfast. Only today something horrible happened that shattered her world and disrupted her routine.  Her phone was on the coffee table she has in her living room. She is a bit perplexed for as she rarely gets messages in the morning, only people that message this early her is either her publisher or editor, occasionally her family calls her which she reminds them to please notify when they call as she hates surprises. She sighs as she walks over to the coffee table and picks up her phone and slides her thumb across the screen to unlock it.

She hits the icon and blinks as it is from her longtime friend Hannah who appears to be enraged as she had sent a message in all capital letters. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOUR FIANCE WINIFRED! THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS NOT FAITHFUL YOU NEED TO KICK HIS ASS TO TH CURB!" under the message Winifred eyes widen in horror as she sees a picture of her beloved fiancé Daniel kissing another woman, his hands are on her ass as she is pressed against him and a brick wall of an Italian restaurant downtown. He is in a college jersey with the number 88 and has short blonde hair and is built, he is 6'1 and is known to be friendly. She never thought he would do this after he told her when they met at a college party, she was made to go to by her friend Hannah after he told her his last girlfriend cheated on him. The girl in the photo has a short black dress on that is so short she wonders how anything is hidden.

Tears form and fall down her cheeks as she can't believe this! They had been in a relationship for two years!  She looks at her hand which has her diamond ring and rips it off her finger and flings it across the room. Winifred immediately calls Daniel, and he doesn't answer so she leaves a message after the beep.  "You... and I are done! I can't believe you done this to me! come get your stuff and never call me again!" Hanging up she grabs her keys, pocketbook and phone and does something she never does but desperate times go for desperate masseurs. She goes to a bar and orders herself a glass of wine. She feels so low right now and thinks nothing could possibly get worse.

Only then does her phone ring. Her phone ring and the name on the caller It says in big letters. DAD.
