Dear LT,
You know why I was breathing so weirdly on the phone? Because it took all I had in me not to tell you to go to hell. Why did I ever promise never to abandon you? That's the only reason I'm still here, you know. Not because I care or love you back--but because I don't like breaking my word. I want to cancel tomorrow but I won't. I want that $175. Because that's what you really are to me--a paycheck.
