September 30, 2017

It was a long day, but business was slow. Only two clients, though one made the hours fly by.

Alberto. He's 50, and our chemistry was electric. Everything just clicked. I gave him my new work number because when you find a connection like that, you don't let it go.

Speaking of the new number... I called David. He told me his boyfriend is actually jealous because my profile picture shows me in my underwear. I couldn't help but laugh. Causing a fight in a gay couple wasn't on my bingo card for this week, but early relationships are always so fragile, aren't they?

My last client of the day looked exactly like those traditional images of Jesus you see in old houses. Forgive me, but his performance was... excellent.

But the biggest news isn't the clients. Mariah is graduating tomorrow and leaving this life for good. Since she's moving out, I asked Tony if I could take her spot temporarily until I find a new apartment.

He said yes.

I'm moving tomorrow. No furniture, just my clothes and my secrets.
