The two kiwis seem nice and I'm always happy to meet new people. That is, until I watch Edward's demeanor change completely.

Earlier, he was awake and interactive and happy, but that ended as soon as they entered. I want him to come with me, but I won't push.

I'm not entirely sure why I want him there, but he's easy and I need easy. I deserve easy.

Life at home is difficult, unpredictable. And I'm not sure that's what I want anymore. These thoughts swirl through my brain as one of the girls offers me her joint.

This is easy.
