"Your novel is finally out!" I exclaim happily, taking my best friend Wendy in my arms.
"You don't know how happy I am! I've spent three years working on this book, and it's been published by a major publishing house!"
I pick up a copy and contemplate the cover I made myself. I'm happy for her that her novel is out. Her dream is finally coming true. She's a fulfilled woman. She has a wonderful boyfriend, joint projects and a good financial situation thanks to her parents.
I pay for the book after insisting for a long time, then go back to my apartment where no one is waiting for me. I live alone in this beautiful apartment that I bought three months ago.
I make myself a dish of pasta carbonara and scrambled eggs, which I eat quickly before taking a shower and then taking the book with me to my bedroom to read. I get into the sheets and start reading. I fall straight in love with the book and appreciate the main character, who isn't a dullard compared to others. I feel tired and put the book down beside me before falling asleep, curiously exhausted.
