Mr. Holt

Two months later

"Thanks for coming to be with me," I say to Jenna as she lies on the bed and flips through channels on the TV in my new apartment.

"No problem, girl," she says. "Have you heard from him?"

"Not for a week. But his sister texted me yesterday."

Jenna glances at me. "Oh? What did she have to say?"

"That he's not himself and she begged me to reconsider giving him another try."

Jenna laughs and tosses a few pieces of popcorn into her mouth. "Begged you? That's a little desperate. What's the last thing he said to you?"

"He texted me last week to ask me if I needed money. Oh, and to tell me he bought me a house."

"Girl... let me see it."

I open the pictures he sent me of the house he bought.
