“Cool,” I reply.Guess that’s that.
“Alright, Brit, well I gotta go. It’s like one in the morning here.”
“Shit, right. Sorry,” I say, feeling like an idiot.
“K, I’ll be in touch.”
“Sounds good.” I pause for a brief second, “Talk to you soon. Love you. Bye.”
“Bye, Brit.”
I’m used to my family, well my old family, not returning my affections, so it doesn’t even sting when he doesn’t return my ‘I love you.’ I plug my phone into the charger on the nightstand in a silent vow to soak up this night with my girls andnotspend the time on my phone.
When I get back to the living room,10 Thingsis queued up on the flat screen above the fireplace, and all my girls are huddled around Jess’s phone on the couch, looking for Heath Ledger posters on Amazon. I laugh, because of course they are.
Looking at the group of them, my little family, I think to myself,If this is all the love I’ll get for the rest of my life, I think I could be happy with that. Content.So I squeeze myself into the sofa, too, and settle in for our ‘room service-old school movies-foreign candy’ slumber party.

Just got to the hotel, and wow! This place is amazing.
Jess
I know ?? Kelly Wearstler designed it.
That means nothing to me.
Not true, but I like to mess with Jess. I mean Idosubscribe to Architectural Digest.
For someone whose whole job has been design, you are completely ignorant when it comes to clothes and interiors.
Web and app design is very different from fashion and interiors. And I’m not completely ignorant to interiors! I’ll broaden my horizons, k?
That’s all I can ask.
Did the chatty Cathy ever end up shutting up?
I had texted Jess from the flight about my seat neighbor. I’ve since learned “Cathy’s” life story, and a bit of herprevious lifestory, too.
NO
Should’ve flown private….
No way, so bad for the environment AND I definitely don’t have a high enough level of self importance to do that.
Ugh, maybe, but at least there’s no chatty Cathy’s to bug you.
Any chance you’ll head down to the hotel bar for a little fun???
No. I need to wash away the plane grime and recalibrate to being in this state again.
Does it feel weird being there?
Yeah.
