Today was going to be a good day. I couldn't predict the future, but I knew that no matter what the wind blew my way, I could face it with my head held high.
Walking into the local café in this area of Southhurst, I made an effort to wear a beaming grin. I read somewhere that simply smiling releases hormones to make you happy. You could literally fake your way to being happy. And that was what I planned to do.
I asked Heidi for my regular and I took the steaming mug over to a corner table, sitting in the chair placed neatly under it.
Flicking through the Sunday paper, I soaked up all the happenings of Southhurst. I wanted to be involved in every aspect of the city. I was getting back on track again, it was time to be involved in my community.
I meant was I said – that today was going to be a good day. I really did. I meant it when I said that I was turning over a new leaf. That I would no longer be a hermit, isolated from society. I meant it.
But then I saw her. Sitting on the opposite side of the café, intently tapping away on her keyboard, the table she occupied covered in scraps of paper. It had been so long since I'd laid my eyes upon her. So long since I had been close enough to touch her. I couldn't even remember the last thing that I'd said to her. That time was such a blur.
Even though the years had come and gone and we had both changed with them, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that it was her.
I really did want to be a better person. I wanted to make a difference, do something good. Move on from her.
But as I sat there, unable to take my gaze off her, all the rage came flooding back.
