I can’t concentrate. Got to get out.

Called for a ride…twenty minutes later he's here. I quick clustered the clothes into a semi-neat pile and stepped over the two empty bags lying opened on the floor to get to the door.

Met Maria in the lobby. She needed to confirm that I will be checking out tomorrow. I barely nodded yes. She asked what I would like for breakfast. I told her ackee and saltfish and whatever.

She smiled. “Toast?”
I smiled. “Yes please.”

Okay, since she will be here tomorrow morning I’ll save her goodbye for then. Out the door I go.
