I sink into the hot water. Stars in the clear sky above. The wind rustles the aspen leaves.
I flew here, arrived dehydrated, then began drinking. Should I even be writing now?
I forget that so many people live in huge houses like this. So much land for so few people. It's so quiet.
Do I want this for myself? My own tennis court in the back yard?
Tessa left a note on the bed welcoming me. She hugged me, all unicorn jammies and lank hair.
I want this. I don't want this.
Her soft little body and the cool mountain air.
I drink hard.
I realize that I'm the only one left with the three brothers in the hot tub. I'm most comfortable around men, so I didn't notice at first.
I stumble out, standing for a long time in the grass waiting for my body to catch up with me.
I don't know what I want. I can be happy so many different ways. Why does this make my heart ache?
