Do Not Disturb

by Freida McFadden

They’re just sitting together and talking. There’s nothing wrong with talking. Until they start kissing.

This is the only evidence I have that she’s been messing around on me.

Once the depression was gone, I felt like myself again. And I couldn’t believe I had almost let my dreams slip away from me.

I remember when she said that to me. I let her tell my fortune, and she told me those exact words. And I laughed at the time, because I couldn’t imagine a happy future for myself. Yet here I am.
