Three Months Later
THE MILLIONS OF people in the city occupy the space in my body where
fear used to live. I am home. The apartment building looks exactly like it did in
the pictures. I grab my phone from the middle console of the truck I rented
and bring up an image. This is definitely the apartment I chose, sight unseen,
with two other surgical residents I haven’t met. Half of the building are rooms
that the hospital subsidizes for employees. It was the cheapest option for living
in New York.
I throw on my hazards and wave to Forest who stands on the sidewalk,
watching me park. Cars honk all around me, but this is where the building
manager instructed me to park.
“Hey, kiddo.” Forest comes to the driver’s side door. I step down onto the
pavement, and he pulls me out of the truck, wrapping his arms around me. He
holds me, straight-armed, to take a look at me. “You’re here. You’re actually
here.”
“Longest drive of my life.” I hug Forest and cup his face to get a good look
at him. His blue eyes that mirror mine stare back at me. I haven’t seen him in
person since he came home for a few days over the holidays, which was nearly
six months ago. His hair is a shade lighter than my brown locks, and his face is
cleanly shaven.
I open the back of the truck, where a few pieces of furniture and a bunch of
boxes are. I’m finally in Manhattan. The sun finds openings through the tall
skyscrapers and beats down at me. It’s a brutally hot late spring day in the city,
and the concrete beneath me attempts to burn my feet through my flimsy
sandals.
“This is all of it.” I nod toward the stuff, and Forest grabs his first box.
“Keegan’s on his way too,” Forest says, balancing the box on his hip. “He
would have been here already, but he’s coming straight from the hospital.”
It’s not surprising that Forest and Keegan both ended up as doctors in the
same city, at the same hospital. It was always their plan. I was their little
shadow and tried to absorb everything they’d talk about.
“I barely remember what the guy looks like.” I grab a box too, and lead
Forest inside, where the office manager said she’ll be waiting to give me my
keys. “It’s been at least eight years since I’ve seen him in person.”
“How is that even possible?” Forest shakes his head. “I know he can’t wait to
see you.”
After getting my key, we take the elevator to the eighth floor. The heavy
wooden door sticks, but then I push it open and get my first view—and smell
—of my new place. Forest sets his box down, and I put mine on top of his.
The apartment somehow feels smaller than it looked in the photos. The
kitchen is a narrow galley and has a counter open to the living room.
