Mia ended up ghosting me. She said I could interrogate her tonight. But she never showed up. I stayed up drinking a few beers while cleaning the apartment. And then I fell asleep. I tried putting something on
Netflix
, but it was boring. Something was different about tonight. I felt at ease. Usually I'd need to watch something or go out to the bar or something.
But tonight I felt calm. Cleaned. And the time passed at a good rate. It felt like a river. Was I upset about Mia not showing up like planned? At first yes. But then not really. I thought about opening a fourth beer and getting real drunk, but I wasn't feeling the need. Didn't crave another
beer
. Which is strange because I always crave another beer.
As I put the third beer down I thought of how in
high school
I would've been crestfallen about someone ditching me. I couldn't even use the word ditch in tonight's case because I didn't feel bad about it. Can someone ditch you if you don't care that they ditched you? Who knew. I cleaned the bathroom. Deep scrub. First time in a long damn while. And that's when I found a business card.
There was no name on it. Just an address. No phone number or email. Just a physical address. Real old school. I didn't think much of it until the next day.
