The long walk down the hall of his office was a blur. I was numb. I remembered pushing open the door of his office building and stepping out into the bright sunshine. I pulled my sunglasses down on my nose and pushed them up. My eyes slid over to the cute little black convertible that was my birthday gift last year when I turned thirty. Little did I realize it was bought with other people’s money Paul had schemed them out of from our fake partnership.
I slid my eyes over to the bright-yellow camper and then down at the flamingo key chain.
“I guess it could be much worse,” I grumbled and took my first steps toward my new reality as I tried to keep an upbeat attitude.
