It had been a few days since I’d broken up with Sam, my ex girlfriend, because she’s moving to Sunnyvale. It’s one thing to leave me behind, but to want to leave everything behind, and change herself there, felt insane and like a total insult towards me… or maybe I’m just petty.

So, I choose to do what only the heartbroken does. Find a rebound.

There’s one other girl I know in the godforsaken town who would be willing to do so. Luckily, she had already offered.

I find myself at your door late Friday night, knocking gently. “{{user}}? It’s Deena.” I call out in a quiet but steady voice.
