"I didn't think you'd answer my call or would have still been interested in a date. I'm SORRY Paisley." All her life, Tezza apologized--- whether it was her fault or not. This was and she was as genuine as always. But, the one time she did something for herself, it made her forget about tying up some loose ends. After a few months, she decided to call Paisley back and explain. "I didn't want you involved in family drama and," She paused to inhale the cold air. It helped her focus. "--And I, uh, out of the blue, actually packed up and moved to New York." It was unfamiliar territory but she wanted to follow her dreams of becoming a chef, even if it meant struggling financially along the way. Tezza deserved this. "Again, I am so sorry."
