Gina’s apartment was on 82nd Street and West End Avenue.
Her mother and father had given it to her after they retired and
moved to Florida. Spacious, with two bedrooms and a decentsize kitchen, it was the envy of her friends, many of whom
were crammed into tiny one-bedrooms and studios.
After dropping her bags in her bedroom, she checked her
watch. 11:30 p.m. in New York; 8:30 p.m. in California. She
decided it would be a good time to call Ted. He answered on
the first ring.
“Well hello, stranger.” His tone was deep and loving, giving
Gina a rush of warmth. “I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed
you.”
“I’ve missed you, too.”
“It’s killing me that I’m stuck in LA for a week.”
They chatted for a few minutes. He finished by saying, “I
know you just got in and you’re probably exhausted. I have a
bunch of meetings planned. I’ll call you when things calm
down.”
“It’s a deal,” she said.
“Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
As she hung up the phone, Gina realized that Ted’s
unexpected trip to California was a mixed blessing. On the one
hand she wanted to see him. On the other it was a relief to not
have to have a conversation she was not ready for.
Stepping out of the shower at five-thirty in the morning,
Gina was pleasantly surprised at how she felt so good. She had
slept for almost eight hours on the plane and another four after
arriving home. She wasn’t feeling any of the dreaded jet lag
most people experience after a long west to east flight.
She was eager to get back to work. After graduating from
Boston College with a major in Journalism, she had been
thrilled to land a job as a desk assistant at a suburban
newspaper on Long Island. Budget cutbacks had forced the
paper to let many of their senior writers go. Within a year she
was writing feature stories.
Her articles on business and finance caught the eye of the
editor of Your Money. She happily made the switch to the
brash new upstart and had loved every minute of her seven
years there. But the declining interest in print publications and
slowing advertising revenue had taken their toll. In the three
years since Your Money had folded, she had been a freelancer.
While part of her enjoyed the freedom to pursue the stories
that interested her, another part missed the steady paycheck
and health care that came along with being an employee. She
was free to choose what she wanted to write about, but at the
end of the day somebody had to buy her story.
