Just Another Night at the Manor

The flight back to Boston lasted but a heartbeat, while I tried to recap all my comings and goings and twists with Brandon for Amy and Trisha.

"At least you're coming home with a happy ending of sorts," Amy concluded. "That'll help you through the next days."

"Yeah," I muttered with a deep breath.

She was right. I could still be exhilarated about how things had turned out with Brandon, but that didn't change what the next days held in store.

I was surprised when Trisha said she wasn't coming back to the Manor with me.

"I don't wanna be a nuisance on such sensitive days, so I'm staying with Padme this week. She broke up with her boyfriend and can use a shoulder to cry. Call me if you need me, okay?"

"Don't you want the ride?"

"No offense, but the red beast is cooler to go around town."

I hugged her tight and thank her for everything.
