October Writing Challenge Day 6: Restless Thoughts
Ande took the stairs up from her small apartment on the Row. She entered the dark room and tossed her keys on the desk. She paused to light the lamp, taking a look over the dusty papers as she sipped her coffee. She ran her hands through her damp hair and sat down, kicking her feet up on the desk.
Her eyes settled on the rack of poisons. It has been so long since she’s used any of them. Could she really complain?
What could she do with more money? What would Nolah do if she didn’t come home? How had it even gone from fun to raising two kids?
She’d considered it. Not as much as she’d considered renovating Tip’s estate for Nolah and the kids. Nolah didn’t even know about the estate. Hell, she didn’t know about the apartment building. That little bit was between Kordelaine and Ande. Even though Kord had figured it out, she still slid the monthly rent collection under this door.
Outside of a few forgery jobs, that’s the only reason Ande had come here lately.
That restless feeling had begun to creep back in. Finding a new way to handle it, that was the problem. Her comm buzzed and she lazily looked down at it. Nolah.
She hopped up and gulped down the last of her coffee. No time for restlessness today.
