I hugged my arms into myself, wrapped first in a white quarter-zip and second in graying dusk. Barefoot, I shifted my weight left, right, then left again. My eyes flitted to the lit staircase visible through the window. I heard the lock turn and watched the door trembling. As the door pulled open, a wave of warmth rushed over me. I wiped my feet on the red mat. I slipped in through the front door, waved hello, and allowed my body to adjust to the temperature shift. I was a little goldfish from the county fair still acclimatizing to its newfound fish tank.
I can't apologize. I know I should feel bad for all the things I have started and left half-finished, but I was taught not to ask forgiveness if I feel no remorse. And I don't.
