You pressed your forearm tighter against your face, but the tears kept coming. It had been one of those days. One of those days that anyone who ever lived in New York had experienced where absolutely everything that could go wrong, did. It started when you forgot about a presentation at work, escalated as the lunch Sonny had prepared for you had been accidentally thrown away when someone cleaned the office refrigerator and made worse by an unexpected rainstorm where you had gotten drenched. By the time you had made it back to the apartment you had discovered that your purse had a hole in it and that although your ID hadn’t fallen out, two of your credit cards had. Add in chronic pain on top of that and you were ready to throw in the towel.
You cried harder as your side twinged and you wished you had thought to take painkillers before throwing yourself on the bed after drying off. You knew that Sonny and Nick would be home soon, so you needed to rein it in, but every time you tried to stop the tears just got worse. Before you could convince yourself to go back into the bathroom to dry off your face and splash some cold water on it you heard the front door of the apartment open.
“Honey, we’re home!” you heard Nick call cheerfully from the front.
“And we have food!” Sonny added. You could practically see the matching smiles on their faces and you tried to muffle your sob to no avail.
