collected. If he was standing in front of me, I would knock him on his ass, or beat him like the copier.
Pacing my office after little sleep, last night has me still all worked up. He did not answer his phone when I called to chew him a new one. “Coward is what he is. I’ll show him,” I announce to no one other than myself.
I hear a faint knock on my office door and I turn around and notice Jessica standing in the doorway. “You okay? I keep hearing you in here.”
“I’m just wonderful. How are you?” I snap.
“Think I’m better than you by the looks of it.”
“What’s that mean? I look wonderful,” I respond as I look down at what I have on. I should be embarrassed by my attire, but after last night and a lack of sleep¸ I just don’t care.
“Seems to me you forgot to take your glitter pill this morning. Actually, you’ve been slack about it for a while.”
“Glitter pill? What does that even mean?”
“Just something we came up with.”
“Who are we?”
“Seth, Cory, Angela, and me. It means most days you sparkle and we call it the glitter pill, but I think you need a new prescription.”
“Funny. You all have jokes, don’t you?”
“Just saying, Tabitha. By the way, Kelly called and would like to know when you’re free.”
“You know what, Jessica? Have me fly out tomorrow but don’t inform Mr. Northwood.”
“Okay, well, I’m not sure how that will work.”
“I’ll teach him a lesson,” I say out loud to no one as I realize Jessica has disappeared.
All I managed to do last night and this morning is go over everthing that has happened. How he weaseled his way into my heart, crushed it, and how my heart is now furious. Times like these make me wish I could just jump in my car and pound the door down, hence, the reason I’m jumping on the next flight to give him a piece of my mind.
I know myself, and with that being said, if I bottle up any more of this anger and frustration, I’ll explode.
Opening my email, I decide to shoot Angela a quick one to explain a few things. I know she won’t mind if I take a few days to deal with this new bit of information.
Angela,
Don’t be upset that I’m emailing you this and didn’t call. I have to hurry in order to catch my flight. A few things have come to light that need to be dealt with. I’ll explain more when I can.
Yes, before you ask, I am going to see Carter.
Love you and send me what you need me to do while I’m out of the office.

Shoving all my files, laptop, and junk into my messenger bag, I dash out towards Jessica.
“Got my itinerary?”
“On the copier, but I’ll get it. I’ve been instructed for you to never touch it again,” she says as she waddles over to it, laughing.
“Funny … He doesn’t know I’m showing up, does he?”
“From this end, no, and I instructed Kelly of the same. She said for you to text her when you land and you’ll know his whereabouts.”
“Thanks and I’m sorry to skip out on you like this. Will you be okay while I’m gone?”
“I will, and go get your guy.”
“Get him? Do you think this is a happy visit? Because I’m doing the opposite. I plan to tear into him.”
“Keep telling yourself that.”
Making a mad dash out the doors before Jessica can say anything else, I head to my car. I’ve got just enough time to get home, pack, and make it to the airport. Once I sit down on that plane, I’ll think about what I’ll say. Until then, I have crap to do.
Proud that I did everything in record time, I huff as I run through security towards the gate. When I approach check-in, I catch my reflection in the glass and sigh, realizing I forgot to change.
Definitely not my typical attire: black capri yoga pants with a vintage rolling stones shirt, completed by my red flats. It’s simple and comfortable.
The flight felt like it took longer than it did, and as they announce over the intercom that we’ve landed, I pull out my cell phone to send Kelly a quick
