Details are getting finalized at work and it looks like I’ll be moving to LA in April of this year. When I moved back to Hawaii from DC in summer of 2007, I was pissed to be back. I wasn’t ready to settle back in Hawaii, but suddenly here I was, creating a new routine for myself. Since theEx and I are no longer together, nothing holds really holds me here. This opportunity to move for my job could not have come at a better time and yet, I’m sad that I’m leaving again so soon.

I’ve been feeling a bit distant since my plans for moving were set in motion, like I had left a little part of me back in LA. The other day while looking at airfare prices, I thought of Autumn and close-mouthed smile. I texted her while still at work, “Guess who’s coming to town next month to look for an apartment?”

“Santa Claus?”

“Yes, and he’s bringing me along too.”

“Yay! I can’t wait. I’ll show you all the good places–like Compton ”

“Great. Remind me to bring my bullet-proof vest.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

I called her after I finished work, while sitting in traffic on the way home. “So I’m thinking of coming in early March,” I told her.

“I’m so excited,” she replied.  “Is that weird?”

“Not at all. I’m excited too.”

I liked thinking about Autumn and I liked thinking how she might fit into my life in LA.
