We’ve spent the past four years together, creating our own little world in New York that didn’t include anyone from our life in Boston besides Margaret’s niece and my best friend, Vanessa. After the divorce, they were my lifeline. The only thing besides work keeping me sane while I navigated disentangling my life from Giselle and my father. I was hesitant to leave them, to abandon the safety of our unit for the uncertainty of a life in New Haven. One I haven’t even started living.
