If Holly's story didn't have me on the edge of my seat, I would be asleep behind the wheel right now. Seriously. I'm exhausted after today, and I really am grateful for Holly's suspenseful story keeping me awake and alert on the road.
Holly laughs in intervals, catching her breath between words. She seems to be in as much disbelief about all the events of today as I am. "Wait," Holly gasps, "Where are we going?"
I already told her, but I guess she forgot. "Just to my apartment," I answer. "We can hang out for about an hour, then I have to go pick up Elliot from work."
"Oh, ok. Cool." Holly replies." I'm excited to see your place!"
"Well, it's different from what you're used to, but you'll like it." Holly has seen my apartment only in the background of our video chats, and when I say it's different from what she's used to, I mean different. I am a minimalist, and Holly is far from that. In fact, I don't shy away from labelling her as a "hoarder," which she hates, but she's earned it with all the crap she keeps in her home. I just don't get that kind of lifestyle.
"Man, I'm hungry," Holly interjects. She reaches to the back seat and I can hear her fumbling with the donut box. "I haven't had mine yet; do you want one?" She asks, clearly unaware that most of the donuts are in my belly.
"Naw, those are all for you."
"Okay," Holly says before taking a bite into a chocolate-glazed. "Thanks."
A minute of silence follows as I pull into the parking lot of Axle Apartments, where I live. "Hey, Holly..."
"Yeah?"
"We're here."
