a
long deep breath. It was her fifth night at the Three Towers and she
suddenly knew exactly what she had to do. She was breathing hard and
deep as she made a call to Emilia.
    “ Hello,”
Emilia said in a groggy voice.
    “ Emilia,
hey…it’s Amanda.”
    “ Do
you have any idea what time it is?” Emilia asked and Amanda
sighed. It was around nine thirty in New York which meant it was
probably four in the morning.
    “ I’m
sorry love…I have not been keeping a good record of time
lately,” Amanda said. “I’m sorry I woke you up.”
    “ You
sound like this is actually worth me waking up before the crack of
dawn.”
    Amanda wanted to roll
her eyes and say something like ‘no kidding’. But she was
too exhausted. Both physically and emotionally.
    “ The
offer to come over? Is it still on the table?” she asked.
    “ Of
course.” Emilia sounded a little more alert than she had been a
few minutes earlier. “Sweetie, want’s going on? You sound
stressed.”
    “ I
just need a time out.”
    “ Of
course, you can come over any time you want.”
    “ Good.
Because I am booking the next flight out of JFK.”
    “ Oh,”
Emilia muttered. “That’s sudden….but okay…do
you want to talk about…whatever it is that has you all
frazzled?”
    “ No.
I just…I don’t really want to talk about this over the
phone,” she said in a soft voice as she walked to the window.
“I just want to get away from it all.”
    “ Anytime
you want to come over, my door is always open for you,” Emilia
said.
    “ Good.
See you soon,” Amanda said before she hung up. She walked back
to her bed and looked at the available flights.
    She was still looking
at her computer screen when her phone rang again. She exhaled loudly
when she looked at the screen and saw it was Brett. It had been three
days since he spoke to her and she was not about to give him a chance
to explain himself again. By that time, she’d heard it all. All
the different versions of how and why he’d been sleeping with
Sienna. Most of his reasons had been stupid. Cliché even.
    It was just the one
time but Sienna had contradicted that information and told her that
it had happened a number of times.
    He had said that it
was a mistake but if it was a mistake, why did he keep on doing it.
Over and over again for months? And what reason did he have? Sienna’s
husband was away but she was right there. She had almost always been
around. The longest he had ever been alone was that month she had
been on safari and she had begged him to take his leave then so they
could travel together but he wouldn’t. She sighed when she
heard a beep in her phone meaning he’d left her another
voicemail.
    “ I
wonder what he has to say now,” she
thought as she picked her phone to listen to what he had to say.
    Mandy, please pick
up. I don’t know where you are and I am worried about you.
    She rolled her eyes.
    “ If
you were that worried about me, maybe you should have kept your dick
in your pants,” she
thought.
    I know what I did was
stupid but we need to sort this out. We need to at least sit down and
talk…figure out how to move forward from this. Figure out how
to heal…
    She couldn’t
bear to listen to what he had to say anymore. She deleted the message
and tossed the phone on the bed next to her computer. Her heart was
racing as she looked at the Travelocity page and clicked on the first
flight. This was it. There was no going back.

    When Amanda finally
made it out of customs at the Turin airport, she was exhausted. She
was sure it had to do with the eight hour layover. She was normally
one who enjoyed layovers. Anything to experience a new place even for
a little bit. But this time, she would have done with a direct flight
taking into account that she had not had much sleep over the last
twenty four hours. But she needed to leave as soon as possible and
unfortunately for her, the only direct flight was Delta which would
have demanded her to stay in New York
