When We Met

Chapter 21

When we met…

I wondered what your hometown might look like. Obviously much different than mine.

I spent the rest of the day taking in the quaint shops and stores. I rambled along the streets, getting ice cream and finally finding a spot at a public beach.

I looked out over the water at the Peconic River and breathed in the warm summer air.

My mind drifted as it often did.

I wasn't free from my demons, but I had been feeling more settled during my unsettled travels.

I was finally seeing the country the way I had always wanted to see it.

Yet, I had flung myself into a position that made me anxious yet again.

So I pulled out my hemp vape pen that got me through most days.

I'd bought the first one on the night when we met…

*A hemp vape is not marijuana, it's just a natural oil.
