Right about then, I could’ve killed Anika. When I told her, my best friend since college, that I was going to join a gym, she told me that Graham was a jerk and I didn’t need to change one thing about me. But when she realised I was adamant about losing weight, she was most encouraging. Told me it was an excellent idea! When I asked her to come and join with me, she simply patted my hand and told me not to be a fucking idiot.
