"If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret." - Jim Carrey

Reecy needed some breathing space and thinking time. She got into her car, and just started to drive, and kept driving until she got to the outskirts of Manhattan. She didn't really have a destination. She had wheels and music to help her clear her mind. Where she ended up was Atlantic City. It might be winter, but there was something sobering about sand and waves. Atlantic City was a lively place, but she wasn't here for the boardwalk or the casinos.

She sent a text to her dad and told him not to worry about her, but she had to turn her phone off for awhile. Hopefully there were no emergencies. Though, she wasn't running away. Needing space and running away were two entirely different things. She felt less like she was running away, and more like she was trying to find her way up to this crossroads in her life to know which way she was supposed to turn.

( Parking had been a bit of a nightmare. She pulled up and looked out the windows, trying to decide if she wanted to battle the cold sea breeze... )
