'How soon can you make arrangements?' I asked Ryan.

'Next week should do it' he replied. 'And by the way, I've met a really great girl, her name's Amanda and I'm thinking of asking her to move in with us. She says she doesn't mind and she's quite eager to meet you'.

'uh oh, the sex must be really good if you're moving that fast already' I teased, though I was slightly put out by the thought of having to share my best friend's attention. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers and with any luck, the relationship wouldn't last.

'The sex is awesome babe. I mean off the hook. Now I've got a board meeting in five, I got to hustle. We'll talk later ok?'

The line went dead and I replaced the reciever grinning like a loon. I did a little jig round the room. 'I am going to Boston' I yelled at the top of my voice. The office door opened and my boss peeked in an irritated look on his bloated beery face.

'Get the fuck outta my office and git back to work. We got customers waiting to be served'

I gave him the finger and danced my way out. I detoured to the employee rest room to change out of my horrid vomit green uniform, grabbed my few belongings and hightailed it out of there.
