“Ok then you call me, when you get in” Tina smiled

“You… be good” Jessica teased as she walked out the bedroom door

“I’ll try” Tina laughed

“Make sure you lock the door!” Tina yelled

“K” Jessica shouted back.

Tina laid there a while longer, she had given into the fact that she was not going to be able t go back to sleep so she got up put on her robe and made her way to the kitchen.

‘I might as well eat something’ Tina said to herself

She placed the coffee machine on and a bagel in the toaster she sat down at the counter and powered up her laptop to check her e-mails.

She sat and ate her bagel and drank her coffee as she read, replied and cleared her in box, she smiled when she saw an e-mail from Alice.

Nowadays she only communicated with her friends from back home through emails, and texts, she missed them, terribly sometimes. She flew back to LA on business often but usually she cut her trips very short the memories that seemed to resurface every time she visited were still too painful so often she chose to fly in for her meeting run back to her hotel and leave the very next morning.

She replied to Alice’s e-mail with standard replies of ‘I’m doing great, lots of work, miss you too, and I hope I can visit soon.’ She hit the send button grabbed her coffee and walked out to her balcony, she loved the view of central park she had paid a pretty penny, no lots and lots of pennies for her penthouse but she loved it was as spacious as her home in LA but with a much better view, she felt calm and peace every time she stood there at the edge of her balcony looking out into the busy city she had learned to love.

Her life here was great free from the drama and Hollywood politics, New York was all about work and getting things done, no brown nosing, no kissing actors or feisty director’s asses.  She walked into her office every morning did her job and left for the day, simple, sure there were crisis and things that needed smoothing over but for the most part it wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle, she loved her job.
