New York wasn't everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. The first year, I was held up at gunpoint.

I can't even tell you how good it felt to see him. It felt even better when he reached through the metal grate, wrapped his fingers around the front of my shirt, dragged me forward, and kissed me through the bars. Sorry he said-only not looking to sorry, if you know what I mean.
